Madness
Attend to sure complaint
When tempers yield disdain;
Adopt a mindset of refrain.
Accept the blind contempt
When lewd remarks attempt;
Sense a kind thought revamp.
Allow for weakness here
When vulgar words appear;
Keep faith in fine good cheer.
Appease that angry slant
When impotence must chant;
Mind and heart bear with blunt.
Applaud the courteous tell
When gladness comes to dwell;
Enraptured by love's spell.
