The First Things We Do
We first laugh our heads off
Before weeping our eyes out,
First nice suggestions scoff
Before their richness we tout,
First charges deny publicly
And later admit them “As Likely”
Praise-worthy hygiene show openly
Soon behind doors The Slovenly
First, issues make an emotional thing
Before picking their sober ring,
First ourselves stretch drowsily
Before folding mats lazily,
First in restaurants eat our fill
Before remembering the sure bill.
