Bringing my poem posted in "One me up" thread, to its rightful place.
THe Rich Man
There is no man as rich,
as a the man up the Bree.
Rich man he is they say,
rich man, he must then be.
He got a car of glittering gray.
They say it came from over the sea
ten or more he have, they say,
rich man, he must then be.
In politics he got a heresay,
and knows everything that is to be.
Influential man he is they say,
rich man, he must then be.
A large mansion here lay,
they say it belongs to he,
one in every state, they say
rich man he must then be.
~~~
His daughter ran away,
one night with a man she,
poor man he is, I say
poor man he must then be.
He fainted one or twice.
They say stress it was on he,
weak man he is, I say,
poor man he must then be.
Got a uncurable disease one day,
no wealth could evade the death to be.
Helpless man he is, I say.
Poor man he must then be.
Of all the mansions he ever owned
6 ft of land was all he needed,
to rest the coffin to the final home,
to the truth, if he had heeded.
There was no man as rich
as the poor man that lived in Bree,
got mansions, but was not content,
poor man he must then be.
