Sticky Buns
A Limerick about Weaponized Incompetence
A cinnamon roll he needed
I'd baked all day so I pleaded
"Please give it a try,
(you capable guy)
and get it yourself!" He succeeded!
***I would like to note that while he did get it himself, I still had to provide instructions on reheating***

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.

Wow!!!!
Ha! You had faith in him the whole time.
Now you're just being cruel. Is there anything that can compete with warm cinnamon buns? I remember once standing in a cinnamon tree forest in Zanzibar and it nearly drove me crazy; not a cinna-bun for a thousand miles!
