Respect's a funny thing, its sweetness sour
Like lemonade without the proper mix:
It's fine at first but rankles by the hour.
Before we met, before the seed could flower,
I knew your name, had heard about your tricks.
Respect's a funny thing, its sweetness sour,
But wing to wing with you, its bonding power
Exploded through me hard as smashing bricks:
It's fine at first but rankles by the hour.
Connection blossomed, built a perfect tower,
Then crashed, the whole foundation made of sticks.
Respect's a funny thing, its sweetness sour,
Until you spit it out. I won't devour
Your phony rules with all their salty licks:
It's fine at first but rankles by the hour.
The Bolt of Bolts, you look at me and glower.
Believe me, Dash: there's nothing here to fix.
Respect's a funny thing, its sweetness sour:
It's fine at first but rankles by the hour.
I'll have you know those work perfectly fine as two-syllable words, at least in Texas, and so I wouldn't have known you were trying to break any rules if you hadn't said so.

Those are:
The only rules I can bring myself to break--the ones that aren't actually rules...

The multistanza sentence gave me pause, but this was still another fantastic entry in the series.
