Analysis of Sharp Friends
-when the eagle
-begins to pay visits
-to the guinea fowls
-the guinea fowl begins
-to guide her eggs
-so jealously
-life's lessons often
-shows it's a dangerous game
-to sleep with the two eyes closed
-when sharp friends meley round
-at the conners and around
-after all, it's a better art
-of life that cunny man died
-and another cunny man buried
-him with his heart shattered
-in his bad dreams of wits end
