				When peers will sneer and not behoove, 
				And older ones may disapprove, 
				There’s always one who’ll get my joke, 
				And be amused by the fun I poke.
  
				Whenever I shall get annoyed, 
				He won’t, my angry self, avoid. 
				We’ll stick around ‘til problem solved, 
				And wait for my anger to dissolve.
  
				Although I have some attributes, 
				The worst of which are most acute, 
				He overlooks them with an ere, 
				Of patient, friend-like, careless care.
