Ha, ha, ha you made me laugh and the last line is to die for:) "He was a LAWYER ... well, KINDA. Some said he was a member of the bar; in ANY CASE, he came up with a peaceful resolution.

"What you guys need", he said, " is some space."

And then he pushed for it, know what I mean?" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

    Thank you so much! It's always rewarding to have laugh when one is TRYING to be funny! I've had my share of misfires, so am lapping up any hint of the reaction I was looking for in the first place. Thanks again and I congratulate you on your excellent taste in humor. :) Dennis

I think I would like to look inside your head. It must be busy in there. This was hysterical. What an interesting concept. I haven't seen you before. I look forward to more writing from you. Keep up the good work. Karen

    Thank you, Karen. I assure you there is plenty of space to accommodate your investigation of my head. It won't take long and will probably be rather disappointing. My father's metaphorical description of my boyhood achievements/failures: "You're like a cow that gives a good pail of milk and then kicks it over." So be warned, but also welcomed. Thanks again for your kind words, Dennis

Great fun! A clever, original idea in this story of keyboard war. Excellent dialogue:)) And a humorous play on words with the lawyer being a member of the bar. I have to say, sometimes. I really think the keys are more in charge of me than me of them! So very relatable. Well done! Debbie

This is a most inventive and entertaining piece of writing, Deniz. I was all spaced out trying to remember which squiggles went above each of the numeric keys. You had some clever descriptors there.

This was humourous. I loved the word play. You personified the keyboard components really well. One small complaint: caps lock does not effect the numbers. The shift key effects the numbers, but caps lock only applies to the QWERTY part of the keyboard. I almost docked you a star for it, but I knew what you meant, and you wrote very well, and it's a bit of a nitpicky complaint.

    Thanks, Mintybee, for clarifying the function of the shift key and the numbers on the keyboard, while out of compassion leaving the star. I do so struggle with being right and not being nitpicky about it. :) Thank you, Dennis

This is so creative and funny!! I really like the "characters" you've created here and their funny interplay is absolutely choice. Thanks so much for sharing this! :)

    Thank you for your kind words. It's always satisfying to be considered funny when trying to be so. I have experienced unintentionally provoked laughter, and your type of response is decidedly preferable. Dennis

My busy schedule, like most everyone else, doesn't allow me to read everyone I'd like to regularly. But today I'm glad I found a little time to read your post. Thanks for sharing.

This is especially entertaining with the play on words: ""What makes you think so ?" questioned the ? mark." This one is clever: "I always feel up when the caps does his thing", said the 6." I like your use of personification. Well done.

    HI TOM, IT LOOKS LIKE THE CAPS LOCK MUST BE COMPLETELY OBLIBERATED OR YOU MAY JUST HAVE WANTED TO GIVE ME A SHOUT OUT?
    IN ANY CASE (ANY CASE, GET IT?) THANKS BUDDY, DENNIS
