Viv Wigley Poet Couplet

Super Rich

All money in the world has become mine
my coffers are all bursting at the seams
Can't count it, for I do not have the time
I  know there's more than in my wildest dreams.

There's gold dust all around me, everywhere
not stacked up in a vault in tidy bars
to step upon it barefoot I never dare
this unforgiving surface, planet Mars.

Refuge I've taken here my tent I pitched
more Oxygen and food sent every week
we order it online, we super rich
to those with less than me I do not speak.

My telescope is aimed straight at the Earth
where everyone is poor, all day they moan
whilst I who could not ever wish for more
must sit here day by day and wish alone.

For contest 'If you were rich, where would you live and why?'

Jan Allison October 21, 2015 at 2:52 AM Interesting take on the theme Mr Viv... I'm happy here with the poor down on earth there are some super rich people here on the Island - but all the money in the world can't buy them happiness or indeed health :-) hugs Jan xx Viv Wigley October 21, 2015 at 4:14 AM How true, Jan, how true. I thought for the comp I'd think outside the box and get away from those 'Lotto ads' scenarios. If I didn't have the ties but had the cash, I'd move to Namibia. Love the place. Viv x
