Went to a wedding and they had a poet dressed like a fox. You give him a word and he types out a poem on an old-timey typewriter. Of course, I chose ‘espresso’.

He started doing that as a side hustle (wearing the costume at parties, writing poems), and later, started doing it full time. He says that it’s fun for everyone involved, and allows him to get creative with very little in terms of overextended expectations. REALLY nice guy!
