The Businessman

There sits a man
	with pen in hand
Counting the stars that shine.
Do not disturb,
	he’s completely absurd,
Involved with matters of consequence.
He sits and he counts
	then totals the amounts;
He’s rich ‘cause he owns all those stars.
Oh, look! Now the sky is all blank
	for the lights he did yank.
He put all his stars in the bank.
