Gargoyl
We are catty-corner
me and he-
we sit, legs crossed-
our noses in our books,
his of stone, like himself,
A stiff and solemn evil elf;
a Scholar more than me.
He never leaves his book!
But I will, more than not,
put mine down to wife the house
and fix the supper for the mouse
who, along with he,
Keeps with me a company.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
