And they did continue to dwell among the eagles
and racoons in the land of Florida Central, having fought the good fight
against the state taxation found in the land of Carolina in the north country,
finding it grievous. And they did rejoice in a land both warm and cheap.
2
And thus,
we see that Sherwood and Linda did endeavor to live as goodly parents and
doting grandparents in the land with no state income tax.
3
And it
was done with good intent, whilst they did binge on Netflix and the like.
4
Furthermore, it was with great happiness that
they did, in the year of our Lord, 2018, count among their greatest gifts and
blessings the children that they did count as grand. And Phillip and Heather
begat Zoe and Conner and Kipling and Zachary and Griffin and even one more,
Ender. His name being that of a character in a most excellent book.
5
Maren and Thomas begat Reagan and Hero and Leidy
and Boone the Baby pants.
6
To them also did Adam and Sarah count Emma and
Sadie and Scout and the youngest of them, Ever Jane, who did vex many with her
dislike of the chamber pot; however, much she did smile and show forth much
spunkiness.
7
And in
the land northward, a land of much snow and cucumbers, they did see Aric and
Lauren bring forth both Silas and Ellie.
8
And it
was like a tribe of old that did grow and prosper and become both fair and
delightsome.
9
And so, there was the giving of great thanks.
10
And the
honor was Poppy’s, who was both adored and admired by the children he found
grand and who did arrive daily asking, where doth Poppy dwell and is there
Pepsi and candy?

But
behold, YaYa did impose the rule of law, and receiveth much in the way of
deathly looks and muttered curses, but she doth continue to hold high the
standards of truth and meanness.
12
But it came to pass that YaYa did both rule and
reign and bring forth collections of her words, arranged in blocks called
paragraphs, numbered on pages, bound up in books called novels. And she did
continue forth writing much, yea even a great number of volumes which can be
found at a place called amazon.com/author/lindazern
13
And now, it came to pass in the fortieth year of
their being wedded that Sherwood and Linda did continue in this vein, sitting
much in the afternoon and evening gathered about a pot of fire recounting the
days of their youth and silliness. And they did laugh much at the memories and
silliness.
14
And they caused that their family did stand in
readiness, lest they be caught flat of foot in the last days.
15
And I make an end.
