Do you believe in minimalism?
Absolutely not!
I thinketh a man should haveth many wives!
Many guitars. Many books. Many fishing lures.
Minimalism and I haveth agreed to seeth other people.
If you believeth me on this… come hither… I want to showeth you something no one hath ever seeneth…

😂 Brilliant! This gave me a good laugh.
The mock-Shakespearean style is wonderfully playful, and the line “Minimalism and I haveth agreed to seeth other people” is pure comedy gold. The progression from many guitars, books, and fishing lures to the dramatic invitation of “come hither” builds anticipation perfectly, only to end with the hilarious reveal of a YouTube video.
Haha thanks man… I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁😎
You are welcome,😊
Brilliant, Bryan! I suspect minimalism took one look at the collection of guitars, books, and fishing lures and quietly packed its bags.
The Shakespearean “haveth” and “seeth” made it even better. Now I’m genuinely curious about the mysterious thing “no one hath ever seeneth” though I have a feeling it may be a closet that surrendered long ago!
I thinketh thou mayest be right. Minimalism took one look around, sighed deeply, and quietly departed in search of a smaller dwelling.
As for the thing no one hath ever seeneth… some mysteries are best left hidden behind closet doors that no longer closeth. Thank you friend 😁😎
Loia, you got me with this one. 😂 The faux-Shakespearean voice is hilarious from start to finish, and the escalating absurdity makes it even better. By the end, I was fully expecting the grand revelation to be something gloriously ridiculous. Fun write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Wow. Ioia…lol…or Bryan, seeing others refer to you that! 🤣 My bad, friend…but great poem all the same.
You can call me whatever you want 😁… thanks again man for checking out my blog
Also when I try and click on you to get to your blog it says it been deleted… do you have a link to it?
Yes…that was a “ghost” blog that somehow got unintentionally established. When I found out I deleted it. My website is https://tristanrobetlange.com/
Well that’s mildly embarrassing. My fingers type faster than my brain thinks. The link I just gave is wrong. The right address is: https://tristanrobertlange.com/ There…I’ve established I can spell my own name now! 🤣
Cool man thanks… I just saved you to my homescreen 😁😎
I just saw why that link was bringing you to the wrong site. I have fixed it. If you have tie to click on my name and see if it works, I would appreciate it. Thanks again, for bringing it to my attention. 🙏☺️
Yeah man it’s working now… it took me right to your blog here on my jetpack app… it wasn’t doing that before… you’re welcome 🙏😎
Thank you for saving me too! I have you saved as well.
You’re welcome brother
Thanks man… I appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It just kind of cameth to me haha 😄
You are most welcome, Bryan! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I was wondering if anyone would connect this to my Reddit story haha great job Mike! 😂😂
I’m all for more books… I’m just not sure about the rest, though. 😂
Yeah man… just stick to the books and keep yourself out of trouble. 😂…
Definitely!
Funny!
Thank you 🙃😁
Mininimilism…I cant even spell it..lol…is all very well, but there are never, ever too many books on a shelf 😉
Nor teapots to sup tea from, nor cups of many designs and colours to pour it into…not types of tea…
I love the Shakespearean touch. ‘Come hither’…my mum used to say that..so funny.
Fun read!!
Haha I hear ya… I have trouble saying and spelling it too 😁 and thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
