Plenty Yet Empty

Extra Lemon 
Extra Lettuce 
If you know what I mean 
I will have 
What he is having 
Said another 
And another 
Why
He asked ?
Because you can afford 
Whatever you want 
But he failed to miss the point
Because he wanted it
Just because he could 
To say that he had
So that no 1 had got 1 over on him
What is the point of having everything 
If someone 
Has something 
You haven't 
If his neighbors had a hole
In there roof
And water was flooding in
He would pay someone 
To do the same
That is the type of guy he is
He is empty
Surrounded by plenty
A bespoken 
Man of the gentry
