"Darling dearest, you missed an event this morning."

"We had too much fun last night. I had to sleep in."

"But I still had to have my early morning espresso.
 Your friend, the Poet Laureate of the Long Beach Jetty
 was there and ended up with everyone applauding him."

"You mean Marcel DuTramp. What did I miss this time?"

"He stood up on the patio and recited a poem, saying
 'It begins and ends with a line from Scott Fitzgerald.' 
  I remember it word-for-word."

"I'm all ears."

"I want someone stupid. Oh, send someone stupid.
 I don't want someone smart.
 Not someone with a heart.
 I don't want someone with a past
 But (maybe) someone made of glass.
 I want someone stupider than me
 So that I can simply be.
 I don't need a peach or a plum
 Just someone who makes me feel less dumb.   
 I want someone stupid. Oh, send someone stupid."

"Are you sure you didn't write that?"

"I'm not smart enough to write something like that."

"Am I dumb enough for you?"

"I'm not smart enough to answer that question."
