Preaching To Myself

Full is the quiver when sharp is the spear
Be downcast in slivers, take a huge slice of cheer
Starve a harsh tongue; it withers the ear
Mourn with a river of tears
Shiver with joy and not fear
The man who delivers, lives in the clear
Good scriveners scribe in multiple spheres
Be a forgiver of those in arrears
Protect the liver from too many beers
Always give praise to the Giver of years
