I went to the Duchess for tea,
It was just as I knew it would be,
Her rumblings abdominal
Were something phenomenal
And everyone thought it was me!

Editor's Note : If the author of this admirable limerick would care to call at the publisher's office during normal office hours, we would be delighted to make due recognition and acknowledgement provided, of course, he is still alive. If not, we would rather he didn't.

Stay with me, friend
Don't scatter and sleep.

Our friendship is made
of and for being awake.

The waterwheel accepts water
and turns and gives it away,
weeping.

That way it stays in the garden,
whereas another roundness rolls
through a dry riverbed looking
for what it thinks it wants.

Stay here, quivering with each moment
like a drop of mercury.

- Rumi
