I'M So Rich

it's hard to be somebody when your nobody and that is where I be and I sit here without a shower because I lost my power and theres salt all over me an every time I leave my home with stinky sandels that walk on there own I think theres something to see an I got a cavity in my moler an I think I'm by polar and everybody looks at me crazy so mostly I bob around can't aford to goto town cause I'm as pour as could be an when the demons come out at night I know I'm alright cause theres nobody here but me an half full is my cup an I keep my chin up just as solid as a tree the midnight oil I burn a new poem at every turn I think makes me happy and though I'm all alone with no woman to call my own I don't feel sorry you see cause in the day I stay in the shade turning lemons into lemonade if I can find a cup for free and for the food I have not I'll eat the fish I caught an there'll be no hunger for me and at night I stay out of the bars an in my hamock I watch the stars richer than a rich man could be! by Captain Mike Harris
