JEREMY & THE GIANT KING
After spending the morning terrorizing the neighborhood,
Jeremy and his Little Brother embark on a romp through
the forest where they stumble across a mysterious

storybook realm, whose inhabitants are at their wits' end
dealing with the problem of a Giant King on the rampage!
Can Jeremy help bring order to the realm?

I set up a typewriter and write people poems on the spot based on the prompts they give me. When they're done, I stamp them, recite them, put them in a decorated envelope, and give them to folks to take! They are welcome to tip whatever they like in exchange, but pay is not required.
