You can’t buy loyalty, they say.
I bought it though, the other day.
You can’t buy friendship, tried and true.
Well just the same, I bought that too.
I made my bid, and on the spot bought love and faith and a whole job lot of happiness, so all in all the purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
that gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
buy a brown-eyed puppy with a
stump for a tail.
