When your spring has sprung a leak
Doctor plumber should never speak
Away to plumber away to drummer
Wait with hope for a doctor summer
Tomorrow gives the summer of hope
The leak in spring will shrink in scope
The cures for leaks are in summer rife
Your world of summer bursts with life
All winter love helped you sow
In the spring that love did grow
A true love now blossoms forth
All day long love leaves you not
Your true love will not dissolve
Rest assured you're lucky in love
If you will good deeds do
With no prompting or cue
You’ll find fulfillment true
In blessings made for you
Such deeds we do in kind
No ulterior gain entwined
Deeds done of noble class
No fulfillment will surpass
New gangsters shortchanged me
Stole my change, fled with glee
Old gangsters offered to avenge
To nab the thieves of my change
Thrilled by old gangsters’ device
I took their offer and paid a price
To make this short I’ll be precise
I was taken to the cleaners twice
A choice among two misgivings
To be mobile with limited living
Or live fine with limited mobility
Always firmly reject in its totality
To not move but live with fullness
Or fully move but exist in dullness
Are two but the same bad choices
I’d sooner choose to lose my voice
In dollars I’ve made a million
Attired for social communion
Now clutching class invitation
I’m off to my old high reunion
If she smells the dollars in me
If she does my class attire see
In joy and peace I will cascade
But I'll keep the million I made
A word that sets the world on fire
And spurs the man in us to acquire
It makes us now and then conspire
That powerful word is called desire
Like guns desire propels men higher
But untamed and wild it will misfire
If gripped with urges just to acquire
Be sure to master all the raw desire
