“Sometimes things happen to us that we cannot do anything about. Sometimes they happen to the ones we love and we still can’t do anything about it. How we learn and grow or fall apart determines who we will become. Our life after tragedy then, is the sum of what this life has taught us.”

ABOUT
Writing Journey
I have always been passionate about writing but I have started and stopped several writing projects for a while. My latest project was never supposed to be anything but a single dark and sarcastic riff on This Old Man inspired by a childhood friend. But then a few more rhymes came to me. So I decided to use this small project to get my feet wet in the writing game. To be honest, I'm not sure what to call what I've done. Modern satire? Adult nursery rhymes? Social Justice prose? Either way I have a few other projects in store that I'm hoping to share with you soon. Be well!
NURSERY RHYMES FOR THE ILLEGITIMATE
June 11th 2023
Some people take retelling the classics too far…Niels Kahn is some people.
Niels Kahn seems to have forgotten that nursery rhymes are for kids. Well not anymore. In the vein of “Go the F to Sleep” and it’s sequels, he takes a genre meant for juveniles and places it squarely in the realm of the adults. You’ll love Nursery Rhymes for the Illegitimate and the subjects it chooses to tackle…until it pisses you off and you call it quits.
THIS OLD MAN
"Oink oink, pig pig, give that man a bone
Hand him a gun, now tell him to commit suicide
On his way home"
