For the moment, harassment of this poet has faded to a low ebb. 

Only the faintest, most careful and carefully spaced transceiver noises let her know that her stalker/targeter is, as always, at his post and doing whatever he can to frighten and depress her.

Well.

Shall we try offering a poem now, and see what happens?

*****
Make ’em Laugh

Make ’em laugh!
She’s on the staff
Of the Make ‘Em Laugh Society

In this whole world
There’s not a girl
For whom turns out more satisfact’rily

Conversation
In relation
To her very highest preference

Having no money,
Making life funny
Must be th’extent of her beneficence

To really live
A giggle give
Is what she best prefers to do by half

All gloom appeased
With self she’s pleased
When she’s been priviledged to make ’em laugh!
