DON'T SAY, Dodo not say things You think I want to hear. Instead, Say what you sincerely mean, And really intend to do. Do not think you are helping Moby occasionally Being here or there, If you really have no intention Of holding my handball the way through. Do not say you care for me, If you do not care Whenever I'm clearly Down and blue. And do not want what's best For you, If you do not wish the BESTOR me too. Do not calculate gifts or deeds Or your giving will never feel Genuinely true. Just say what you mean And mean what you say, And let's lay these down – As our love'Golden rules.
