A Million Changes a Heart

Pardon me, did you just hand me a million bucks
For doing nothing at all
Or will you demand
With some command
To have me at your beck and call?

Ok, sure a mill would be handy
But will you have the gall
To make me your slave?
If that’s what you crave
Then of course I’m very appalled

I’m always asked to return favors
No matter how large or small
They may throw me a smile
Or a super large pile
Wait a minute, a millions’ quite a haul!

Pardon me, but if I get to keep the money
I will certainly not forestall
I’ll do whatever you ask
And be up to the task
I’ll even get on my knees and crawl


For Pardon Me, Did You Just... contest
