Fate Poor
Had I been a lout I could have married the princess;
My wife's brother has married a banker's daughter.
My neighbor Jacob's wife Megan is a curio-shop owner.
My friend Lucas is blessed with Annabel a Google CEO.
My brother is honeymooning in Hawaii with Grace Kelly.
But fate..I know his status.
Poor, bankrupt, will soon end up in jail.
Fate, I ain't a goddamn muggins like you.
