Why? Gray’s told us to excel and move
And even kitten whose only “do’s” to grove.
Why? Thinking that by doing such
The country will earn so much.
One only pertains this to some instance
That could do you harm in a glance.
Never look at the horizon, at tomorrow
If you’re to expect the sun, but with a furrow
You’re only to frustrate yourself
Assumed rays are somewhat an elf.
Never take jokes a serious matter
Even if it sounds not a flatter
You’re only to laugh at its plainness
And nothing to reply at his foolishness.
Never step forward to a place
Seemingly nice and full of grace
Only to find out it’s a thief:
Never step forward if it follows a cliff.
