Decline of Rich Men
The decline of rich Men.
The numbers of American millionaires have declined
I read this as a news item and was amused.
I know of an old man who became a lotto millionaire
He had a facelift, and married a young woman.
But time was only on the woman’s side and he couldn’t
Cut the mustard…and sank into despondency.
Clutching dollar bills he went to hospital and begged
Doctors to restore his potency…they could not.
Expensive divorce, lawyers she had the best money
Could buy, and then he as poor again.
His old wife took him in but he has to live in the dog
House, feeds him rice pudding and combs his hair.
The numbers of American millionaires have declined
But I will not speculate on the reason why.
