I’m reluctantly giving up the notion of composing a short valediction to be rapped, rather than orated:
I’m not spitting rhymes just to show my hipness
I’m here to valedict you — can I get a witness?
And so on….
Plus, working on my lectionary essaylets.
“I’m here to give you dudes valediction
and dudettes too — ain’t no pulp fiction.”
