Oft concoct love foreseeing need.
With tender grass lush green
Does a butcher fatten
His sheep in his own selfish greed.

That noble friendship sets apart,

Jhat our Weenie DogOur Jhat was a boisterous hound
He loved to run, romp, and play

Back-biting bites own backWho so maligns a noble man,
None but his own self tends to stain,
The ash thrown over head,
On one’s own head gets spread,

Alongside a boulder they'll sit and wait
"Fish on" I say...when water breaks...

Take fire and sandalwood,
The ash born smells no good,
To wit, O never generalize a bit.
