Promises
(undated)
Promises are a tight
hold
On a revolving world
Mercy,
Let promises stay tight a little
longer
And if promises are stronger--
Fine
I have an important one to
keep,
With my good friends
So stay put, old world,
My words have not yet been
broken
And you on this promise
Should rightly sleep
. . .
