No Elbows on the Table Elbows are people too. Well, parts of them. Heroes heaving your cutlery up and down — up and down — up and down, shovelling lumps of everything from the delicious to the downright disgusting. Every...single...day without even breaking a sweat. Why should they sit down below? Or worse, dangle aimlessly quaking in fear as they swing through the air. Why must our dear friends remain bereft? Elbows have rights too! (And lefts.)
Kristy Keller hardly every stops talking — this is why she took up writing almost eight years ago. When she is not writing, she can be found going on about a range of subjects from politics to pizza to birds of prey to whether or not her cat, Ripley, is truly evil (he is). When she is writing (or reading) she is finally silent and thus, the world can concentrate once more. For goodness’ sake, read her poems and give everyone’s poor ears a rest!
