Who Is Hot and Who Is Not?

He told me he is hot and I’m not Then I looked at the cooking pot and the flower pot I wondered! What gap exist between the belly and beauty I will ask the sun and the dark cloudy city He told me he is hot and I’m not Then I gazed at the aged hut and the blue spot I wondered! What are the pains and gains of time and chance? I would ask the bending bones and the legs that dance If you are hot and I’m not Don’t blame the Creator for the seed that rot For they are the future trees that feeds the nation So, paint your ego with ash and caution If you are hot and I’m not Don’t add salt to the content of your teapot For it will make the content sour and poor If you are hot and he is not, do not think that he is poor If you are hot and I’m not Don’t put your head on the pillow of a baby cot For it will dent your intended egomania If he’s hot and you’re not, forget his egomania. song title..
