Admiral Puff - John Donne's Endless Debt of Platitudes
Admiral Puff

"You owe me."

That's a matter of opinion,
split the differential

Maybe I do and maybe I don't

How conveniently you forget my side of that equation

Maybe your best was never worth enough to "owe you" much.

Who looks at the world that way, anyway?

Quid pro quo, curtains stained all neglected.

"You'd be surprised."

"No, I wouldn't."

The rule against perpetuities
tolled for John Donne, didn't it?

I owe you nothing
But
The proper salute

Goodbye.
