What's yer name?

"What is your name, girl?" I asked the jester.

"Oh, I don't have a name" she answered happily. "Names are slippery buggers you see. Slips right off me they do, never seem to want to hang around for long."

She put her head in her hands and peered at me. "Ooooh, I know!" she said, "why dontcha name me? If you name me I'm sure the name will stick around for a while."

"I don't know..."

"Aww, come now, you don't get to name a fool every day!"

I looked at her. She looked back with that mirthful face of hers. Inspiration struck. "Then I shall name you ... Mirth" I said.
