I love how it’s symmetrical,
Each side a perfect match.
In former days, when jeans were ripped,
It made the perfect patch.
To call someone a square, though,
Was insulting, but a deal
That’s square was something good, just like
Receiving a square meal.
We square away our debts;
A square dance can be lots of fun.
I could go on forever or
Go back to (pause)…square one!

Noah had a mission
Build an ark on commission
Fill it full of animal pairs
To square away human affairs

Today
What tomorrow fought
Seeing double
Worth as much
Costing every dime
Every soul
My very essence
Caress
My eternal abode
United together
The very fabric
Of my taste
Busting my heart
My being
Over the top
Winning
Square away
Never
Leaving as one
Permanent
Elite, never leaving
Self-imposed
Composed
Free loading
Being
Timeless as one
Complete
United
Level of peace
Perfected
And asleep
