Motivations A
There are many inducements to dismiss or receive
and many enticements to expel or retrieve
For some it is the losses, for some it is the gain
For some it is the pleasure, for some it is the pain
For some it is the boodle, for some it is the bane
There are many relations to appease or aggrieve
and many narrations to recount or bereave
For some it is the caring, for some it is the letch
For some it is the pursuit, for some it is the catch
For some it is the actor, for some it is the sketch
