* You can't buy loyalty, they say.
I bought it though, the other day.
You can't buy friendship- tried and true.
Well, just the same, I bought that too.
* I made my bid and on the spot
bought love and faith and a whole lot
of happiness- so in all.
The purchase price was pretty small.
* I bought a simple trusting heart
that gave devotion- from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
buy a brown-eyed Boxer pup with a wagging tail.
