"Humans delight in the comfort of friends. If not, the joy of commingling ends." __by Poet My neighbor, next door, remains single- It seems she knew not how to mingle. She refused to join in And would not let us win- Just stayed in her human-proof dingle. One day, we created a jingle Hoping it would send her a tingle! “Joining groups, so much fun You'll be pleased when it's done!” She hung her “do not disturb" shingle! She never did quite intermingle- Strong neighbor support soon did dwindle. So she missed the delight Of her God-given right- To share in the joys to commingle.
