Not Afraid To Have Fun

Not Afraid To Have Fun

By Elton Camp

Although he’s an old man with money,
This man enjoys life and acting funny
You can tell by his delighted smile
He hasn’t forgotten the joys of a child

In his mansion, he has an elegant staircase,
But alongside it, a slide he also had placed
And down the smooth chute he will slip
And he does reach the floor in only a zip

If a sourpuss frowns with criticism implied
As if one of his status should act dignified,
Because he’s old and rich, what does he care?
He’s earned the right to fun anytime, anywhere
