Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Put it there,
If it weighs a ton
Put It There, Paul McCartney
Give me your hand,
I'd like to shake it,
I want to show you I'm your friend.
I don’t care
if it weighs a ton,
as long as you and I are here, put it there.
If I can make it clear,
It's all that matters in the end.
Line count: 8
Free verse

Prompt: As per illustration.
Note: I forget what they call it but there is a form in which the lines are taken from another poem or, as in this case, a song.
