Failed the First Week
Speak the words of truth
Till you are long in the tooth
Look them in the eye
And tell them no lie
A friend will know
When a tell does show
Your hips will grow width
Though you take the fifth
You fell from grace
When the sweets you did taste
Too good to pass
For a year… much too rash!!
Written for David’s “One to One” poetry contest
