Symposia

Listen to poem:
[To the editor of the classified section:
please run the following in the Events Section each week]


Symposia, symposia, symposia now every week
We’ll hold them every Saturday in the new lot by Ocean Way
There will be experts every day on everything from Z to A
For anything that you might seek; here’s just a few so take a peek:

How best to eat fiddlehead ferns and how to file tax returns,
R/C flying, knot untying, poison oak identifying, 
T-shirt dyeing, deep fat frying, public grant requalifying.
There’s something new at every turn; you never know what you might learn.

Pilates, crafting, self-defense – the list goes on and never ends –
Puppet making, picture taking, ways to stop your bones from aching,
Money making, undertaking, even easy-oven baking.
Latest fads and newest trends, so come on out and bring your friends.


[Please also include this underneath in the smallest font available (readability is not a consideration)]
$100 charge (non-refundable) will be collected prior to admission.  The symposia coordinator will not be held liable for any damages to you or your loved ones including (but not limited to), general malaise, upset stomach, accidental (or intentional) disembowelment, spontaneous combustion,  or death.

A fun contender, Jesse, with a surprising word of caution at the end. Well done.

This is such a clever, witty take on the theme, Jesse and I loved the double rhyming and great rhythm within lines which made it race along in tandem with the tumbling ideas being introduced. Congratulations! Wendy
