Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

If I Was Rich As a Rothschild

If I was a rich as a 
Rothschild 
  then I would give up my job 
as a college assistant 
   and live in a great manor 
If I was as rich as a Rothschild 
I would buy 
a fantastic stereo 
If I was as rich as a Rothschild 
   I would buy the expensive volumes I see 
  advertised in the New York Times book review section 
If I was as rich as a Rothschild
    Wow! Wow! Wow!

Andrea Dietrich May 12, 2014 at 12:06 AM yeah, My poem would say a lot more about being rich as one of these lucky duckies. We poor schmucks can only dream. Nope, I have never done poetry readings. Maybe BYU has them but I just don't know. I went to the library once but it was just one smug poet doing all the reading and people buying his book.
