\'I am rich,\' said the boy with a coin in his pocket
\'I am richer,\' said the girl with a tenner in her locket,
\'I am the richest,\' said the man loudly
Waving the winning lottery ticket - proudly!
\'I am happy,\' said the boy with a friend hand in hand
\'I am happier,\' said the girl with a friend and a dog on the ground
\'I am the happiest,\' said the man, quietly
Waving the winning lottery ticket - slightly!
\'I am content,\' said the boy with family in tow
\'I am more content,\' said the girl with family and friends to show
\'I am the most content,\' said the man, whispering
\'Surrounded by money - I can buy anything!\'
\'I am lonely,\' said the boy without someone to play
\'I am lonelier,\' said the girl without someone all day
\'I am the loneliest,\' said the man who began to cry
Knowing love - his lottery ticket can\'t buy!
The moral of this tale is it\'s all relative
You get back what your prepared to give
Money is only a crutch
And can\'t replace the human touch!
