Clap

.

       Up mine hands go
      as with mine knees

      down mine feet go
      with very fast step
    
                bang 
                bang
                bang
   the neighbors can hear
       my heart's pulse
      through mine feet

Mine eyne and maws open
         with jubilation

          (((((Clap))))) 

       ourn bodies meet

Dear Sire James, My Heart is joyful as I retrieved the Parchment and scant in time. I feel I must go back to the Bazarr to retrieve more ink for mine Quill as again I write thine third Proclaimation of Congratulations in as many reads. "Clap" a Feature of my lord's Wisdom, Knowledge, and Inspiration. I was to sojourn to other Inspirations, but Nay I will once more read of YOUR LOVE. With LOVE ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal "Integer 2" Liege...Harry
