That Sounds Like Fun

The world will not get better, 

The world will not get worse,

If you follow the letter

Of the law composing verse.

You can take comfort in that

For yourself. Readers can, too,

When they think, "Done there. Been that."

But it simply isn't true

That a blessing or a curse

Well-written alters matter.

The world will not get worse.

The world will not get better.
