Well, to be honest, I did have to look Asa up, when I found the book at GW. But it was a cool find, think it's the 1870's, but I'd have to find it to know for sure. That would be fun to do a post on them, maybe one day...."get in line, ideas, get in line". I have about 200 in my Steemit folder alone, so we'll see what comes forth. But that is a good idea, thanks.
As for jokes and limerics and such, Steemit has been the best site for inspiring me to write some for other contests, etc. All my first time of doing so in life. They're fun, if not some coming out a bit lame ( :
Have you seen @improv 's site for such? It's a lot of fun.
