The Reality of Life


He looks to finish school

He wants money

He is such a fool

He is very funny

 

He gets a job

He buys a house

He is such a snob

He found himself a spouse

 

He wants more money

He wants his children to be wise

He doesn’t have time to enjoy the day, ever so sunny

He says he needs a bigger house, he sighs

 

He grows his bank accounts more than ever before, very wise

He buys a house of immense size

He stands proudly at the huge entrance door

He cries, on his deathbed, unsatisfied, and silently dies.
