RICH OR POOR, by                    
First Line: I'd rather be poor than have riches and such
Last Line: If I only could lose about two hundred pounds.
Subject(s): Poverty


I'd rather be poor than have riches and such,
Be it diamonds or gold, it matters not much,
I'd rather be poor than have silver and gold,
Or cattle by manger, or sheep in the fold.
These are not worth while, and I know this for sure,
You may say what you like, I'd rather be poor.
I'd demonstrate this with leaps and bounds,
If I only could lose about two hundred pounds.
