My friend, Sarah Crain (soon to be Sarah Wu), has kept some crazy stories that I wrote once upon a long time ago. Here is one about a little carboxylic acid named Joe:

There was this carboxylic acid named Joe who was tired of the how acidic his personality was so he wished for all his might that he might be able to get back to the basics of who he was. He met up with this secondary amine, and he could sense the chemistry between them. After it was all over, Joe felt a bit dehydrated, but he was now a happy amide, ready to take on the challenges of the world once again. The End.
