[Inspired by a story called 'Otomodachi'--which is by Emily
"Mink" Koh--and written in the manner of William Shakespeare
(it's not exactly iambic pentameter, but what the hey).]

"Yugi to her friend Sasami"

How fit a friend for my dispersions--
Whose name agrees with tidal decay,
Whose fresh aspect suggests conversions
And size belies your restful sway.
The wind whispers, the sun laments--
Confined and pensive is the sea.
Its borders disorders with no repents;
Subdues statues to a mere mem'ry.
So when our shadows submit to fates,
Our salty satellites lose their use,
We will endure--pleasant playmates--
Never resigned to senile abuse.
 Any creature can balance the scales,
 But a friend's amends never fails.
