Skinflint: A miser to an annoying degree.
Shares everything of his, lower than the normal dose
Kindred and all relatives in the house, share one hose
Incredibly stingy that on both his hands, weed grows
No seat around, he shares the flower pot with the rose
For his son’s laboured breathing, he offers his own nose
Life roars in long poetry, he sees it in a short prose
In all his displayed portraits, none has his complete pose
Nearly a millionaire but his family borrows
Tortured soul, clinging unto self with hands, always close.
