We all have our territories and domains

Some encroach on others, but it's the same

For anything shared is quite good for the soul 

As long as it's not abused, as then we are moles



Who bury underground looking so hard for food

They make a mess of the ground, not at all good

And the burrows and ripples which appear on top

Then cause softness under foot, which trips us up



Sharing can be a delight for all who participate

As long as it's done without incurring a pain-state

Something which will happen if you take away

That which was never yours, for then your day



Will come in a dark place where people judge

Your actions, then pay you back without fudge

And ask you pay compensation to those you hurt

Something you will be required to do and not shirk



So look at what is shared with you in goodness

But don't take it away - for that becomes a mess

As the words and phraseology are protected here

So, do what you will - but don't cause any tears



For those which run down cheeks so very hot

Can come from eyes who have taken what's not

Theirs to take, but only there for them to enjoy

So please - do take heed, and remember this boy!
