Never falter ... nevermind,
falter or fall as often as you like.
Never bother to apologize,
no sense in baking frost-coated pies
or minting fur-plated dimes
you say there's money and it's coming our way,
then you toss us pennies
like well-wishers at Ben Franklin's grave
or have you forgotten already?
Never the bridesmaid, never the bride
we slip to our paranoid side
Off and on, off and on, on the mend.
Cutting us off here again,
until we steer clear of dear friends.
