Post 522: A Pome

 I Looked

I looked at him, he looked at me
And ever changed the two were we.

I looked at her, she looked at me
We knew that us would ever be.

I looked at me, I saw myself
And quickly tossed me on a shelf.

The lesson learned, if truth be told,
Is, “Better held and not behold.”

20 Feb 1903, from the Rufus Middleton Scrapbook
