What Is Yours Should Be Mine
What Is Yours Should Be Mine
By Elton Camp
The one with kin to call her “Honey”
Is the old lady who has some money
They can hardly wait for her to croak
Until then. funds they will try to choke
If, by hinting, they don’t get their way
They will ask her their debts to pay
“Honey, I am in this more terrible tight
To help me out, I know you’ll delight.”
They promise that it will only be a loan
The truth is that her money will be gone
Once the funds they manage to win,
They’ll never mention the “loan” again
“Aunt Suzy, I do so need a new car, Hon.
It would be so nice if you’d buy me one.”
“You know it would be with great speed
I’d help you out if you ever have need.”
It’s amazing how many you would find
With noses stuck up Aunt Suzy’s behind
But if she should ever come to need help
“I can’t be bothered with that,” they yelp
