the matter is not one that we would stress
most of your answers would come out the same
but only one will truly mean success
we rush without a thought into the press
of human creatures thinking them all tame
the matter is not one that we would stress
our moment comes we have to show largesse
since any other course would bring us shame
but only one will truly mean success
as soon as we begin we feel distress
not from the cold but from the waking flame
the matter is not one that we would stress
from then to now we find that we'll regress
to forms that would we hope win us the game
but only one will truly mean success
in ending you must hurry and assess
the meaning of the action and the name
the matter is not one that we would stress
but only one will truly mean success
(C)2008, Fragano Ledgister
