Some And Others
Some people pay their own way
Others way-lay their own pay
Some adults are full of trust
Others are adulterous
Some people have faith devout
Others are devout but doubt
Some people will long to stay
Others stay too long today
Some pirates pierce their own ear
Others pay a buccaneer
Some people are out-right clean
Others will clean-out the scene
Some infants grow and progress
Others, grown, slowly regress
Some people steer their own course
Others are a steerage source
Some cops allow crooks to flee
Others let them cop a plea
Some lovers can never lose
Others lose lovers they choose
