We Unfortunate Rich

Poor people have so few worries And they're never in much of a hurry As we, on guard day and night against theft Else our vast fortunes ~ bereft

Indeed it's true. The rich have to hurry to get more and more. Poor make due with what they have...or not.

So that’s how you know the poor from the rich. The poor are never in a hurry and the rich rush about...hmm, something to think about!

Really, so true, Kim... The old rich used to be able to idle away their time, their wealth secured physically from robbers. Now with so much wealth 'online,' the newly rich are as frantic as can be trying to safeguard it---and I, a rich retired teacher (non-union, who never had any benefits) ought to know! LOL. Thanks, Gershon
