That Guy Paul

One guy who is happy to loll
gets rich doing nothing at all.
Each day people rob
some other poor slob
named Peter to pay that guy Paul.

Fine! I smiled knowingly at this. This has the hand of an accomplished craftswoman. You are all that, my dear. Thank you for your kind support and your competitive art. Both make me better. Thank you for that! Regards, Gerard.
