Happier Than Rich
Step inside
See for yourself
I've nothing here to hide
Or worthy of you stealing
My clothes are old and full of
holes so to are my socks and undies
My bread is moulded milk soured
i've only rat's for company
My electricity supply has been
cut off and i only bath myself
when it rains into the buckets left outside
As once upon a time i had and
took myself a wife until came
the day she divorced upped
and left me
With nothing but amounting
debts she even won our pet
goldfish in the final settlement
Now here i stand cap in hand
with nothing to my name nor single possession worthy of stealing
But the smile still beaming from
my face and happiness i
rediscovered since the day the
judge granted our divorce
