Prematurity
Since upon Night's End I haggled the Thief
And dug Old Emotion a fresher deal
As I earned a Pound's Fine for my Relief
This Vermin took my Gold; including my Seal
The Seal, which, supposed to keep you in-check
And have you posted on Events you relate
On this Printed Book where our Words first met
Stuck Thorns into Pages; which was a mistake
A Mistake, that placed a Cork in your Mouth
And allowed Red Lillies to fester and grow
Those Types I abhor; for they grow in the south
Where Salt is Sweet; and Owls melt into Snow.
Such Foolish Wisdom that Thief could provide
Was just another Body that you cannot hide.
