Beyond the Meaning
Beyond the Meaning

Who pays the piper calls the tune
what’s earned in May is spent in June
and those who play with borrowed dime
will be in rags a later time.

What goes around will come around
all music starts as just a sound
to blame the piper for the song
is but to wish you’d got it wrong.


Line count: 8
