Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

Prince Or Pauper

Everyone's aware of their place in the world
Prince or pauper, rich or poor
It's very seldon one class transends to the other
Most are locked in forever more

'Tis so very sad but true of our class system
 We must try but not confuse
Much as we'd like to crash through the barrier
There are so many factors infused

Lotteries are probably the only factor of change
That didn't depend on hereditary
Not being accustomed to such sudden wealth
Losing a fortune we become wary

We're all aware of where we stand in the world
Prince or pauper, rich or poor
