Two friends , for each a box
one tries,the other mocks
one yields, one persistent still
curious to know her box's fill.
Then one day, chance abets
the opened box, onto her it's secret lets
and success comes with riches and glory
and far spreads her fame and story.
Upon the other's ear, fells the tale
yet every memory of her own box fails
she rides on green, to sparkle find
her friend she knows, won't be unkind.
Amidst the laughter, one slayed
the box in her keeping, now laid
Alas though, for it opened once and then never
her own box , stayed shut forever.
