And I went to see who ’twas for
“But there’s nobody there,”
I said into the air
“I shall open this door no more!”

“Oh wait, oh wait, my very tall friend
Words from afar your Medium friends send
I’m here to regale you
Or perhaps assail you…
Interpretation is yours in the end”

And wouldn’t, oh wouldn’t, you know?

With a fine-looking tan
Was standing there, cheeks all aglow

“Well, hello there and please do come in
And let the regaling begin
I’m all for good words
My faves to be heard
Praise for me lately’s been far too thin”

The smaller man entered the house
And I hollered out loud, “Hey, spouse!
Come hear me be praised
‘Bout my writing these days
Then we’ll see…
