Completing half the needed schooling

or doing only half the work,

paying only half the total

of the bill, to the sales clerk;

using only half a map

with which to travel by,

these half measure you could do,

but of course, they wouldn’t fly.

Exerting only half the effort

to make a relationship complete,

only speaking in half sentences

or only crossing half the street;

signing only half your signature

or ordering half a piece of pie,

these half measures you could do

but of course, they wouldn’t fly.
