'anybody' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'composing prose for a bit of fun' is the wordplay.
'composing' is an anagram indicator.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a bit of fun' becomes 'n' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'prose' is an anagram of 'perso'.
'perso'+'n'='PERSON'
