Eight-line Poems

Put It There

Put It There

Put it there,
If it weighs a ton
Put It There, Paul McCartney

Give me your hand,
I'd like to shake it,
I want to show you I'm your friend.
I don’t care
if it weighs a ton,
as long as you and I are here, put it there.
If I can make it clear,
It's all that matters in the end.
