Selfish - and don't care!

orchidee



Oohh, note to self - 

What's all this, Orchi?

Well, it's an update from a previous poem....

 

C'mon now, you paid up?

To Branson, etc

These millionaires need your dough, you know

Never mind the NHS - just sue them like he has done

 

Oh, and never mind if ya won't have enough to live on

Just give it to Branson & Co!

C'mon now, he got his private island to maintain too

It's not fair it should be neglected

 

I'll be round soon with the collecting hat

A church got keen once - 

It passed round TWO collecting hats - literally hats

In the same service!

 

What's that you reply to me?

'Money don't grow on trees, ya know'

But yes it does - 

The paper money notes anyway!

 

Yep, c'mon now - go without

Make yourself suffer

Why should you enjoy yourself?

If the rich are not getting richer

And the selfish are not getting more selfish

 

Until it all ends - 

And they lose it all - 

Cos they can't take it with them when they pop their clogs!

 

Woof! Fido suggests an 18+

For this selfish theme

But he knows it's tongue-in-cheek poem!

......Yet true - the last couple of lines.

    Many very true words said in your writing Orchi, the rich do not care for those in need.

    • Fay Slimm.

      You made a very strong point with these words Orchi.

        Thanks Fay. This one did not make it to the 'hymn-book'. It may be apocryphal!

          I can't imagine you being shellfish. Do you picture yourself as a hermit crab seeking a larger shell that you may grow into? A shell with enough 'extra space' within to present a reverberating echo to your singing voice?

          I like your picture of your dogfish today too. A rare breed of FidoCod I think. I should imagine if you hold up the hymn numbers in front of him he will howl along harmoniously to your tones.
