 toc  Young Hosts Remarks By Zach Kalik =Prologue = When in Summer, the sun glazes so bright Brings about heat, a power you can’t fight. In spite of calidity one must say, There couldn’t be more beauteous days.(1) Much, a fine day, on my long travels home, but lost is the way, so around I roam.  Of nowhere, stumble I to a tavern nobles of all trades, make place a cavern.(2) But five stood out from the rampageous crowd. Bickering, annoying all those around Each one, a strong desire to be drunk Lacking money, they all were in a funk.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">From a glance, I identify their trade <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Each one has a presence that could not fade. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">One possessing a demeanour so strong <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A Smith wearing leather that stretched so long.(3) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Admist the chaos in those five, that Smith <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">had something to say, someone to share with, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Plus, a deep thinker the Smith seemed to be <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Like Shakespeare, writing poems, and sipping tea.(4) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Another had a sense of elegance. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Though his stench, covered by an odd incense,(5) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A dancer, oh, how conducted was he <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A latency so proper, one must see. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Another a a follower of Smith he was <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A Mason was there without a real cause. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Played a court jester, with disfigured eyes <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">and lips, and teeth, and quite oddly shaped thighs. (6) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Another, seemed struck by cupids arrow, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Eyes lovestruck, Emily’s head seemed to flow. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The last one, malevolent in some sense <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Greed, lust, anger, pride felt from her presence.(7) <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">An ominous feeling, she emitted <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Dark colors she wore were quite befitted.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Intrigued, I decided to go walk over <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">I said, hey, who wants to lose their sober. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">But, first something for me is must you do <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">for a winsome tale is what I pursue. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Tell me a tale that ensues my delight <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">for I wish to be entertained tonight. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Whichever story me gratifies most, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Then shall that person be able to boast. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">For they will receive a colossal sum, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">and be free to drown in wonders of rum. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">They looked at eachother, and then discussed <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">whether my challenge was worth any fuss. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">After a lengthy while they all deem <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">My challenge worthy, and so they proceed. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">And so each told me their tale, starting with <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">the one most desperate to speak, twas the smith.

=<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The Dancer's Tale (David Tsai) = <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">In a little town, the baker ever <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Was the victim of pranks, smart and clever. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Vengeance on the people for he did long (1), <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">So he hatched an idea to right this wrong. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The baker was friends with two other men; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He told them that he would be scared again <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">If they would just pretend that they both were <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A woman by the name of Christie Kerr. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A butcher was one friend of the baker; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The other was a candlestick maker (2). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The two men were not known for being smart, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">And they were eager just to play the part. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">To the butcher's lair they both did retreat, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">So they could prepare to pull off this feat. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">All night long hyper and squawking! <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">By the morning, they had not stopped talking (3). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Their severe lack of progress was quite clear, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">So says the story I heard with my ear (4). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Careful planning had not been invested, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">For they were quite ugly and flat-chested. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The butcher yelped, ‘This will never do! <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Our disguise he will surely see through.’ <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The candlestick maker, bringer of light (5), <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Had to agree that the butcher was right. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">That day, the two stayed home and out of town; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">I cannot even describe what went down (6). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The baker had only said to pretend, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">But the butcher insisted to defend <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A desire to be thorough and full. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">From his closet, he proceeded to pull <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">A dress and fake breasts and extra-long socks <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">And a wig with beautiful, golden locks (7). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Much to the candlestick maker’s surprise <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">It looked like a complete woman’s disguise. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">An explanation then had to be made. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Attention the candlestick maker paid. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The butcher enjoyed this transformation; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Being a man caused his lamentation. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">‘Now that I walk in a woman’s body, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">May the baker want to kiss me,’ thought he (8). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The candlestick maker focused elsewhere; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He did not find necessary long hair. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">This was only supposed to be a joke! <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Becoming a woman caused him to choke. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Nonetheless, the butcher had him roped in <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">This jail of a plan that had him closed in. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">In his mind, the concept of pretending <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Had not involved so much effort spending. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">To abandon his friend? His soul was wrought. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Or not to abandon his friend? He thought: <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">‘There must be a way to show that I care <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">And not leave the butcher alone in there’ (9). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He decided it was best not to beg; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Into a black dress went his arms and legs. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The butcher helped him put on some makeup, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">During which he tried hard not to hiccup. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">When the two set foot in town the next day, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">They drew looks from all around in their way. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">We all were seeing two beautiful girls <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">With hair coming down in numerous swirls. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">One was in black, the other in yellow. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">They were sure to distract any fellow. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Straight to the bakery, found the baker, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Each introduced herself as Christie Kerr (10). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Though the girl in yellow had a nice back, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The baker looked more at the girl in black. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The butcher had been expecting some fright, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">But the baker was bathed in the black light. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He adored the nervousness in her gaze <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">And felt an urge to shower her with praise. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">‘My God, you are—’ he started to exclaim (11). <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The butcher had been beaten at his game, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">For though he had been hoping for a kiss, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Things were quite clear now that it was a miss. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The candlestick maker was terrified! <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He did not intend to become a bride. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He took off and ran back to his own door, <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Burst inside and collapsed onto the floor. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The baker never saw that girl again <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He wanted only her! What to do then? <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">The butcher simply hung his head in shame; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">He had failed to get the baker’s last name. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Be himself and love he could not ever; <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">It was too unnatural an endeavor. <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">This tale ends with everyone unhappy <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 120%;">Because the real world is just that shabby.
