On a Philanthropic Attitude

Here I am, waiting around for a topic How about 'Philanthropic?' And I've got to have an attitude Well, there's always good ole 'Gratitude' O.K. -- Let's see: 'Philanthropic.' Hmm... If the more you give, the better you feel Then why not just give away the whole blinkin' deal? I guess that won't work 'Coz then you'll need someone philanthropic Who may have just moved away to the tropics So, there are limits to Philanthropy Though surely there are none to 'Gratitude' At least, none that occur to this poet dude Thank you, Merci, Cpacibo, un a Dank There are even more in my language tank Mutsamesk, Gracias, Obrigado, Asante and Tack... To wrap up this off-beatnik verisimilitude Don't be over-philanthropic; you'll end up screwed Now there's a zinger of a fine attitude!
