'Tis more valuable than wine.

PLOW
Four legs in front, two behind.
Its steely armor scratched and
dented by rocks and sticks.
Still it toils as it helps feed
the hungry.

BULL
In the fields a frightful thing,
Watch it and you will find,
It has a pitchfork in the front,
And a broom back behind.

PROMISE
Our valiant leaders will keep this.
But only after they have given it.

DEATH
What is this thing that having it,
You can no longer give it away,
But lacking it, for the moment at least,
You can give it to those who must pay?

DISPUTE
Whoever has it is angry,
Whoever loses it is angrier,
Whoever wins it has it no more.
