Oh Ode to Porchfest, thou art the best!

Can't decide if my favorite rhyme is:

"Hundreds of artists are performing today

Rock, jazz, soul, and reggae"

Or

"Kevin Keady, a satirical folkie

Ralph Carson, our favorite Okie"

Great job, Joan!

It was a lot of fun but I believe I will stick to prose.
