"eke Sheik"
I would have done things of useful truth
Recalling all days of my youth
Would have finished my spinach
More muscle percentage
Would have done my math
Taken more baths
More girl friends
More gin
Men?
Would have been an Arabian sheik
Romances would never be bleak
Oil wells I would need not seek
Fuel price would never peak
My wives would be meek
Speak to take leak
Sandals reek
Oh freak!
Eke!!
Surely no one desires life this led
Lounging all day in roses bed
Grapes by beautiful wives fed
All nodding, go ahead
Oh the awesome dread
Of this life's tread
Overhead
Dream's stead
Said!!
