A Scottish native now living in Indianapolis says immigration is hard but leaving the United States would be even tougher.

A humorous exchange between speakers and Senator Sorghum centers on who paid attention at a banquet in the speaker’s honor.

A compact collage of literary snippets and lampooning witticisms. Blake asks Scribbler about anonymous writing while recalling a proposed letter to Mrs Scribbler.
