An Unreasonable Request
an unreasonable request
presents itself for redressal
although we neither judge nor jest
how may we deny whilst being hospitable
we begin by presenting a spherical view
hoping that better sense may prevail
but spurred by greed pleas renew
if we rightly refuse he will pale
of course we may be evasive
with niceties of kindly demeanour
rejection easy for we are not submissive
but we wish that blissful love feels no tremor
then there is also the matter of karmic consequence
for indulgence would impose on him karmic debt
our refusal entwined with love the balance
so that mirror of time reflects no regret
