Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for January 04, 2024

yeah sounds like my classes notes back in the day. I hired an agent to read them out for me

(applauds).

I took minutes on a laptop when I got stuck with church council secretary for a term. I set up an outline with headings of the usual meeting order and just opened a new copy each meeting. Since I’m a fast typist it was relatively simple to just insert the discussion and action items. Then all I needed to do was proof for typos and print it out. I suppose today you could use voice to type but that would probably be too literal.

Kind of like Mr. Dodgson, yes . . he was a fine mathematician, and would take pains to make his poetry scan . . Ms. El-Dweek’s here is looser, which has its own charm . .

duly noted…

But, is it noteworthy?

Good poem, Amanda. Have a great day y’all.

Love this! You can find poetry anywhere!

I assumed I was the only person who ever referred to phloem and xylem after high school biology. I stand corrected.

Had to google it. I lik lurnin.

Love it! Creativity never sleeps!

Nicely done. Have a bun.

Scansion

After having done some research (couldn’t find it the first time) I concluded that someone was planting knowledge on me.

It makes as much sense too.. what is a ‘Bandersnatch’?

My meeting minute notes tended to off off on an odd tangent. I never shared my handwritten notes. Just the typed ones, where there were no snarky side comments, like, “hurry up, I have to pee.”

I’ll make a note of this.

Am i the only one who heard this as the Spider Man theme song?
