Twenty dollars raised the bill,

I gave you 7, no extra-

The unlucky 13 will keep tight with me;

so work your ways, and know

I’ve been there. I wanna see everyone

on the platform accept the award,

even the title, pen name or

not. It’s yours, the whole world you’ve created-

In that, there’s a lot of hope by fruition in this world.

I reckon’ that’s good for the whole load of us up-n-comers.
