Ask still less of money spent where the spender thinks it went, <br />for, despite reminders sent, its too easy to invent <br />excuses not to find the rent. <br /> <br />Therefore before you consent to part with pound, or penny, cent, <br />helping friend to supplement his small yearly increment, - <br />before you lament, repent! <br /> <br />Management most competent needs some legal instrument <br />to avert an accident, subsequent predicament, - <br />argument, embarassment <br /> <br />If your friendships you’d cement by behaviour sapient, <br />avoid disillusionment by tactful expedient, - <br />‘tis best the question to prevent!<br /><br />Jonathan ROBIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-accounting-of-hardship-parody-robert-frost/
