Welcome to The Pen Of The Muses! The posts below are often about theological, philosophical, political, lit., or writing topics because that's what's really important to me and what I'm most excited about sharing. But I am human. Man lives not by deep theological concepts alone. Not everything I post will be weighty.

The witty humorous young man... ;)


This isn't really a story or anything, it's just a Comp. assignment that I decided to share. :)

"The witty, humorous young man at a party is always held as the male of highest importance among the young women present, and he is always found with a flock of them standing all about him, giggling and tittering at his quips.

These feminine admirers are always flitting about like a herd of seagulls, now gathering about him, now breaking off to whisper about him in little bunches, now wheeling back to hear his humorous sayings.

Being the center of the focus, the top of the totem pole and (unfortunately) a young, pompous male, the clever jokester will very soon become puffed up with this attention from the opposite gender.

Puffed up like a proud bird, strutting about sipping at punches and nibbling at pasties, he will continue even farther down this path, spewing forth witticisms, jests and wisecracks, hoping to leave the whole room rolling with his wild bantering.

While this gaiety and jollity goes on in the foreground, in the corner gathers the lesser lads that glare and glower over their drinks, muttering and grumbling their complaints."
