I’ve been chipping away at this work in progress a bit at a time for about three weeks now. Today I put in a good hour and a half.

right about now the executioner/is flexing his axe-wielding arms/because the cruel crowd thrust thumbs in condemnation/of the unlucky sap whose job title is Entertainer/and must now be entertaining with his amazing flying head
