I’d rather be
a millionaire
because as you know
millionaires
have no worries
or cares.
Sitting poolside
all day long,
humming my favorite
lazy song
does not sound
so very wrong.
Playing Kinect,
eating Cheetos,
blogging all my
personal credos –
working hard?
Indeed no.
Long lost cousins
finding their way to me
wanting a place to live
expecting to be
heir apparent
after me.
And Uncle Sam
sticking his hand
deep in my pocket –
back off Sam!
There’s gotta be a
better plan.
So, on second thought…
I’d rather be
poor little ol’ me
because as you know
they’ll let me be –
nobody cares for
poor me!
