If f/k/a really was the leading antitrust humor and sexiness blog, you would not need to make a Leap Day offer to the Ladies.(He wrote kiddingly).

I have no idea why David F. is again having trouble Commenting at this site, which is normally promiscuously permissive and needfully-unselective in accepting [non-spam] Comments. I must, however, point out (after more than a decade practicing in that area of law) that a good sense of humor has apparently never been enough to make an antitrust lawyer competitive in the battle of the sexes — and posting pictures of model plaintiffs in bathing suits is not likely to help much either.

Thanks very much for your kind thoughts on this. I felt the same way, as did M. Kei (who I also tagged), and both of us found ourselves simultaneously writing six word poems while actively resisting the idea. Go figure.

Life is short; then you die.

This cliche just popped into my head (Kerouac’s first thought, best thought?). I suppose it could pass for a six word “collective memoir.”

best,
Don @ Lilliput

I also only write haiku and senryu, and can’t imagine trying to use either genre to create a memoir (even a six-word one). So, you’ve left me with a conundrum, since I hate to let down one of my most loyal readers and Commentors. For now, I shall remind my readers to check out your Six-Word Memoir (which is actually darn good, and might be a great epitaph or death poem), and the Six-Word-Memoir Challenge posting by Poet Hound.

I can’t promise to participate any further in the Challenge. I hope you’ll understand.

I was tagged by Poet Hound and I am tagging you to participate in the “Six Word Memoir Challenge.”
