habemus poetam laureatam (The accidental poet)

[Jeff Aitken]

Well done Laurel, and blessings on your lively and funny spirit shining
thru your words. May your being our laureate give you that much more space
to pump up those inflatable shoes and honk your horn whenever you wish.
With much love and appreciation, Jeff.
