A Tease of Jest
~~~


A doggerel
scraping
over bone
of laughter ousted heartsick
Stretching string
to alter tone
Intentions
analgesic
~
A temporary
tease of jest
a sanity
controller
A stitch of rhyme
ingesting
vest
No vanity
consoler
~~~

Rex,
Well I'm not consoled...does that mean I'm vain?
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I guess it depends upon an expanding perception of vanity ... so to speak

Nancy ... you snuck in
Thankyou for the kind words

am a bit baffled by the context, like the sound and the sequencing of the words and to me the message is that somehow even small jests can do some consolation as long as there is no vanity intended.Was that your intention?

Our lives would lack all zest
If not for tease of jest!

I could personally read funny poems all day long, Rex, so sharpen those pencils and get busy!
