Announcing Stone Telling 12: Joke
We are happy now to say
the next issue's on its way(1)
so please marvel at the cover
and how mermippo does hover
(1) Callooh! Callay!
Give a cheer for all the poets
who gave this joke a go - it's
thanks to them we have an issue
for which you won't need a tissue (2)

for the contents of this issue
but for not-the-usual reason -
just the poems over-pleasin'!
