Cornucopia
A measure of human want,
Of mans unceasing desires,
Abundance of food in excess
Of what stomach can bear,
Of wealth and gilded jewels,
Of mansions and orchards,
Cornucopia from age of Zeus,
Unabating symbol of greed,
Stop to fill that mythical horn,
With generosity of your heart,
Throw goodness in good measure,
And for once fill a poor man’s cart!
