Owe Nothing

Owe no man nothing but love
I say not a penny above
For owing in kind
Suppresses the joy and peace we could find

Owing is tomorrows money today served
Deluding with pleasures and class to be deserved
Where a difficult term ahead is reserved
For an uneasy friendship to be preserved

Let discipline be to your toil a defender
Against the all so willing lender
For he knows your appetite
For his money is as high as a kite

A penny saved is a penny earned
Each day towards the success yearned
A slow, gentle but steady rise
Will amount to a count of surprise
