Squaring Things Away

Perfection as a goal demands correction; accepting mistakes requires some reflecting.. Call me a square if you like but I'll admit when it comes to money, I keep short accounts. Simplicity puts tender in the kitty; humility builds reckoning, quality. It can be smart to start with "I am sorry," then move on to square up any damage done. Meeting with candor - never self-defeating. treating others as fellows means no cheating; While allowing for the factor of mercy the product of two equal terms becomes square. If you owe me something, I won't cause a rift. Swift resolution counts, I am no spendthrift. Square dealings focus on making all sides straight;. such practice eliminates hate and distrust.

PS: "A square rhyme is a rhyme made at all four corners of a couplet. The beginning and ending words of both lines must rhyme
