The exercise:

Write a four line poem about: blending in.

Happy 8th birthday to Max. I thought we'd found him a pretty good present, but then we were rather soundly outdone.

I want to see the video of you making Max watch Joe Biden's speech and then telling him that that's the best birthday present he could ever get please :)
So... what *did* you get Max for his birthday?

Blending in
One more guard joins the ranks at the cliff’s edge,
Merging seamlessly with the ones already there,
Listening to fury as Spud learns what Emma B
Had down her pants. She doesn’t care.

Greg - he's aware enough to know that Trump was a shit terrible president (my words, not his), but I still wouldn't make him watch a political speech of any sort quite yet :)

Oh, we got him a LEGO set. The Spider-Man Spider Crawler set, that came with two Spider-Men, Vulture, and Sandman. He'd only been wanting it for his entire life (his words, not mine), so he was pretty pleased.

This is a delightful entry into the saga :) What do you have left after this one, seven to go? Feels like you'll get to a proper conclusion at this rate!
