To Be So Rich

To be so rich that we can buy whatever we desire to They'll envy us, who just scrape by To be so rich... We'll lust and love, just me and you What need our souls to edify With pleasure's bliss, our rendezvous... Do I detect a faint soft cry of prayer unread from empty pew The profligate sure mocks life's why To be so rich...

All questions should be this easy, my friend: Good imagery comes from---and you know the answer---your imagination, of course! :) gw
