Never Be a Gold Digger

Don’t  dare be A Gold Digger,
Who pays like A  
Never one's treasures near
While permitting no fear.

Never either bestride a farm 
That didn’t weary your arm
Nor try to closer go 
To any of its inviting row,
For one should not  at all experience charm 
Of what didn’t occasion one harm:
To never dare reap 
What didn’t for you grow 
Not amass in a heap 
What another did sow

Many a gold digger has ended like a fowl 
And very few felt they should wear a scowl.
