JUST A THOUGHT
The phone.
I say hello, he says “ya know,
there’s a six-foot rabbit in here
who leaves notes on our chalkboard.”
(The voice was Ben’s.)

“Shall I share it with you?
“To make it in this world
you have to be oh so smart
or oh so pleasant.
“Well,
for years I was smart…
…I recommend pleasant.
“You may quote me.”
