Affordable Sins

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!”

    Yup. Well done. Pretty much everything is "sinful," it's almost impossible to escape it.
