A stark lesson.
(Beware not to give it all away. )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A stark lesson I now relate.
If you put all into life and fail to withdraw
Your happy philanthropic nature giving more.
Men will arrive and take n never show remorse
Your coffers soon exhausted standing empty
Stripped by those you helped when you had
                       PLENTY.

Never throw away a poem draft. You may lose the computer but a paper draft you may find 11 years later.
