I would not Ik' a millionaire,
With scads of cash to liother me,
Such wealth requires top much care,
Too mai.y worries here'and there;
That rich I would not tie.
I only crave a modest sum,
To keep from getting on the bum.
, I would not lea magnate grim,
j And ride in state from day to day;
I envy not the likes of him,
i Though 1 could pamper every whim,
If I were built that way,
Enough to pay my wife’s way
through
Down at the beach one month would
do.
I am not seeking after wealth
By ways both tricky, dark and
vain,
To get a bank account by stealth,
Is not conducive to one’s health;
It is unrighteous^ain.
But, oh, I’d like .qf roll of jbills,
To spend a week out in the hills!
