human ability

we let both ills and remedies accrue
without intending trickery or deceit
what unites us is better than a glue

no one expects us nature to eschew
but we can't always bear the heavy heat
we let both ills and remedies accrue

someone may guess the actions that ensue
but we have got to keep a steady beat
what unites us is better than a glue

we'd come unstuck without a nail or screw
yet those who comment cannot be discreet
we let both ills and remedies accrue

upon our cud we're not happy to chew
not all the charges turn up on the sheet
what unites us is better than a glue

when it is time to say to us adieu
the slowest movement still will be most fleet
we let both ills and remedies accrue
what unites us is better than a glue
