Friend to the Other

In the heat of the moment, two hearts were smashed

One of them got stuck back together with glue

One of them was tied up with string

The glue was white and the string was green,

And there were two pounds of sugar in everything.

In the cobbles, the rubble, the rope thrown with rough handling

The lobsters were not crabs, they were thrown back

The red and the blue fell into the maroon

The gamble was that of the almanac

So the competition was starting up all too soon,

But not for the young side, and not for the rich

And therefore, it was a perfect fit.
