Hi!

How

are you?

He slouches…

shrugs… wearing a scowl.

My cheerfulness starts to wither

A glum grunt… is all he reluctantly delivers.

No way, will he play!

My song and dance becomes a prance…

spins, twists and turns… my attempts elicit no response.

I’m

his

Jester

He’s a King…

Our opposites don’t attract… like magnets, we repel!
