A FOOL AND HIS MONEY

  

On my face I can feel the wind

It’s letting me know where I’ve been –

My eyes are fixed on what lies before me

A reality that only I can see . . .

Then a leaf starts blowing in the wind,

And I stop and think of an old friend –

A lifetime spent chasing endless dreams

Living in a world filled with schemes,

Human nature I try to understand

While dealing with the foolishness of man!

So, I just sit here and laugh out loud –

Swindled out of money – aren’t you proud?

“A fool and his money will soon part

Because of the evil that’s in his heart!”
