Woeful World
Wordsmith writes wacky wordplay
Wee wildlings wander whimsically when weather warms.
Working women worry when wimpy wages weaken wealth.
Weary welders wrought wagons woven with widgets when wanton wagers wasted worthy winnings.
Wisecracking waitresses wrestle weighty wineglasses without whining.
Weekend warriors windsurf where whales wander when waves withdraw.
Wizened widows wonder whether wrinkles will widen when weight withers.
Wasted wankers wield worrisome weapons when weary wieners weaken.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
