There was a poor old man
A poor old man was he
He used to pray to his god
Selfish as can be
.
Why do you not help me out
Help me to be rich
Please give me lots of wealth
Don’t treat me like a bitch
.
A holy man took pity on him
Wanting to give him a break
So he too prayed for him
Hoping it wasn’t a mistake
.
God appeared before him
Is this a joke my son
This man thinks only of him
What will he become
.
The Holy man insisted again
And God agreed to help
To help the selfish man
I will offer him wealth
.
The poor man was off one day
On his way to pray
Every day he walked the same
He never changed his way
.
So God prepared some gems
Priceless incredible gleam
He put them on the poor man’s path
They only had to be seen
.
I know, I’ll close my eyes today
The man said to himself
He walked across the gems
Without realising their wealth
.
What are these things under my feet
As he kicked them out the way
That stupid silly selfish man
Would live to regret that day
.
