Martin Luther King Day has come and gone. The sales are over.  Sometimes all the sale ads make me wonder if we’ve all forgotten about the legendary Civil Rights leader that the holiday was named after.   I’ve felt like Martin Luther King day was a joke (the DAY, not the MAN), but it was only until recently I was able to articulate some of my frustrations with the energy around the holiday.  At a monthly poetry event in Southern California,  I was able to share my thoughts in the form of comedy.  What's your take?
