Rags Before Riches

Rags Before Riches

They ragged on me when I was rich;
Had been in rags digging a ditch;
Now in my own tower;
Riches down on shower,
And only God knows my each glitch.

Hello James. What a marvelous theme. It has the reader look within for a second. I see truth within your words. Oh the humanity of it all. Well done

Trump is not exactly on any of my good lists. The guy was right. His tax return is just another issue in the on going saga of Trump blusters.

I especially liked the beginning of this one, James. ragged on me when I was rich (wish I was able to say that!!) Anyway, a happy EASTER to you, belatedly now.

Tramp should change his name to Regal Reginald and Regina I am beginning to think.
