Frederick Foobah
He worked so hard to get to the top
Day after day, refusing to stop....
For the joy of just living he had no time
Always chasing that almighty dime...
After years of struggle he reached his goal
But all the stress had taken its toll....
Family gone, his health so bad
His smile now perpetually sad....
So if your tempted by power and gold
Remember Fred and the story he told..
Think carefully before you choose
And remember all that you have to lose
