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

Oh sarky one Christopher, it’s truly amazing what situations people find happiness in, maybe there is more relief in this to be rid of someone undesirable, cheers David
