Anonymous comments

Hello. People aren't posting much. Maybe people think that they don't have enough content for a post? In which case, you could tell me as a comment.

Or, maybe you would like to tell me a SECRET. Or just MESS WITH PEOPLE'S HEADS. Or say something you want to say but without your name attached: ANONYMOUS COMMENTS.

(Because I am a horrible person, whenever I see posts that admonish people to "play nicely", I want to leave filth-ridden comments excoriating all their near and dear. So I'm not saying that.)

The Queen is the wife of a King

I got a copy of Letters to Ms. in Chicago, and bookmarked this letter to post, then forgot about it until now.

When I saw that in my spelling book they had "the Queen is the wife of a King," I got really mad. Even though I'm only nine years old, and only in the fourth grade, I've written five poems. One from the five I thought you might want to put in Ms. Here it is:

If you think I'm going to slave
in the kitchen for a man who is
supposed to be brave,
Then I'm sorry to say,
but you're wrong all the way,
Because I'm going to be an astronaut.

Anita Buzick III

I like that very much. I hope that Anita kept writing poetry, and ended up doing something she loved.
