Poet's Corner RICHES TO RAGS Bartender give me one more drink And if you'll be so kind, I'd like to have the floor And be obliged to speak my mind. You see I'm a wealthy man A six-digit figure is my pay, You notice my healthy tan, I came back from Florida today. I have stocks and bonds galore. I also have oil wells too. I could ask for nothing more My big house is paid for too. My Cadillac is getting worn, It must be six months old, Instead of a new silver one My wife insists on gold- And bartender give everyone a drink. But my wallet's a little bleak, If it's alright with you, I'll try to pay you next week. Bob Zmich INCOME TAX.
