The Selfish Man

Admired and honoured a wit and a scholar What makes success comand mega dollar Tea boy to chairman a rise in the main brought on by the intelect of stamina of brain Come tell me your secret your inner beliefs creative deliver reports or reliefs Your background and parents geneological route Influence and grounding your Armani suits Yacht and the polo club members of gold Copter Farrari cigars finely rolled Model a beauty gorgous to see Pent-house apartment one two and three All of this wealth you never can take to God and his country forgiveness forsake Share some a lot to people in pain Surpressed and rejected no clothes or no name

I wish I were that model flanking this rich guy (lol). No, not really. I enjoyed reading this polished piece, Ian. You have a terrific sense of rhyme. I'll be visiting your page as soon as time permits. :))

Yes, there is much greed in the world. I have greater respect for a poor person who gives one small coin to charity than a mega-rich one who gives more from a vast fortune that they can never spend. Words to ponder.
