Extra... Poem by Nestor David Armas

I would never walk away

You can count on me like an extra toe,

Nothing you could ever say

Would make me say no,

To anything you'd ask of me

From pond to lake to the sea,

I'll always be your tug boat

The most reliable coat,

Against the elements

Always love you in +1 increments,

From the first to the last

From the stern to the mast,

On land and ocean

Endless is my devotion,

Anchor to your heart

Home to your soul

An always burning coal,

And the easiest part

Is, all you've got to do for this,

Lie, pretend, deceive, so easy it is

To act like you care

And I'll be as dependable to you as air...
