Affordable Sins
At long last the old chap removed his pillow
Advice he should have but failed to follow
To stop his chronic pain of hunching spine
Lying flat on his back he got straightened
But more complaints came, to his sorrow
“another necessity of life to dispense with
What else there is to retain for expense?
Who first invented these luxury needs
And made them daily practice as fad
Many a comfort afforded with wealth
Is found to be bad for decent health
Mattress & cushion, your bones go bad
Meat & sweets , bad for teeth and behind
Beer & Wine, bad for sight and mind
Indulgence in money and love is prone to crime
Chasing fortune and fame, waste of lifetime
All Pleasures are bad for Heaven
Hell claims Sins of seven!”
