Today, I went to the DMV to get my creative license.

When I got there, they asked me if I had twelve different things...

- My signed social security card

- My passport

- A piece of mail with my current address

- My last receipt from Wal-Mart

- A copy of my diploma and high school transcript with a complete list of all my teachers and their credentials at the time that they taught the course(s)

- My vaccination records since birth

- A copy of the obituary postings from all four of my grandparents

- A polygraph test completed within the last year

- A psychiatric assessment

- Finger printing

- A detailed list of the type of creative things that I planned on creating for the next 12.5 years

- A negative covid-19 test result

Of course I didn't have any of these twelve things...

So, I went home, hid in my closet, turned on my potters wheel and started creating clay pots...

...without a creative license from the DMV.
