Don't expect an hors d'ouervre when you're out of work, mate!
Blame that on politics or blame it on your fate.
However much you mutter,
from now on it's bread and butter.
Just pretend you're on a diet.
You'll be happy if you try it.
Don't think you're in a ditch
but take pity on the rich.
To them it doesn't matter
that poor health awaits the fatter.
Dear reader, be a mensch.
Don't criticize my French.

The Advantages of Alphamegamia
By Elton Camp
Alphamegamia there’s much to recommend
So the right to practice it, I have to defend
An old codger, should we deny
The happiness that it can supply?
He must have a whole lot on the ball
To be able to arrange for that at all
It wards off greedy vultures when he’s gone
Plus, he didn’t spend his final years alone
The young fox finds it has advantages too
For, with pinching pennies, she is through
Clothes and jewels she will never lack
And rides around in a brand new Cadillac
A valuable lesson she may have learned
Marry for money and it’ll be well earned

There may be "Advantages" to smoking!
But, I can't think of any today!
It puts a great strain on your wallet,
but, it's really your lungs, that will pay!
Your clothes and breath will give you away!
They have that "Special" smell!
If you smoke in your car and your home,
they have that "smell" as well!
Young folks think, it's a sign of class,
and maturity, in a way.
Unfortunately, too late, they're gonna find
it takes their breathe away!
Yes, smoking, in time, will destroy your lungs!
But, you still could be all right!
You just, have to wear, an oxygen tank,
24/7 - all day and all night!
Eventually, you'll find it a chore, to walk
or go up and down the stair.
You must ride around on a scooter,
or maybe a nice wheelchair!
Why people smoke, is a mystery, for sure!
Since the redeeming features could be:
Cancer, Emphysema, Bronchitis,
and most likely, C.O.P.D.!
There is no law against, smoking,
and there is no "Advantage", that's true!
So, STOP, if you do - Don't start, if you don't!
The decision is up to you!
THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE!

The Advantages of Being a Dog
By Elton Camp
A dog never worries about what to wear
For he comes equipped with a coat of hair
Most anything he finds, he’s able to eat
His digestive enzymes with germs compete
If he feels sick and then barfs up his food
He can eat it again and not be thought rude
Fido scratches himself in embarrassing places
Yet nobody seeing it makes disgusted faces
When another dog comes to visit or to stay
He can sniff its behind and that’s okay
If he impregnates some other canine
Everyone thinks that it is just fine
A mutt doesn’t have to learn to read or write
Algebra factoring will not get him in a tight
He doesn’t worry about work or paying bills
To get a sporty new car gives him no thrills
Then no matter how bad his conduct may be
At death, from any fear of hellfire he is free
A dog’s life is one of privileges so great
That many humans would like to emulate

Advantages Enjoyed by Adam and Eve
By Elton Camp
It didn't take a whack to make them breathe
They were spared the pain of having to teethe
Since they appeared as adults in a flash
It wasn't necessary to endure diaper rash
And, for them, there wasn't even a hint
Of that annoying stuff called navel lint
Another advantage of theirs was because
Neither had to tolerate mothers-in-laws
Even though clothes they didn't wear
There was nobody around to stare
Political elections they didn't endure
Their leadership was clean and pure
Heart disease they needn't fear at all
A diet of fruit contains no cholesterol
Neither had to worry the other would flirt
None but those two had sprung from dirt
How foolish it was for the two to say
Our righteous God we chose to disobey
