What If
If a barber passes a bald guy on the street
There's a look of distain on his face
Sees him walking totally upright on two feet
But clearly not of the human race
If a doctor passes an athlete on a track
There is instant contempt in his eyes
This dude is putting his practice in jeopardy
What if we were all as fit as this guy
A shoe salesman meets a guy in the park
Wearing battered beat up old runners
The salesman has instant dislike for this loser
This down and out no good bummer
If a broker watches a guy blowing his dough
On a big pile of electronic stuff
Which in six months time will be out of date
The money guy cringes and huffs
If a starlet is making an extremely big splash
Stars who've been around for years
Will try to discredit this shining new star
Hoping to send her packing in tears
