Life Works In This Way

Most people interested in the accumulation of money that leads to success and fame
The pauper like all paupers lives and dies as an almost unknown name
But many wealthy people are never satisfied
That us humans are hard to please cannot be denied
Though financially well off in spirit quite down
And of the wealthiest of the wealthy in the wealthy side of the town
But poor in his ways he does seem to be
He suffers from what is known as mind poverty
There is a moral in the story of the king who wanted to sleep in the shirt of a happy man
His scouts to find such a fellow the countryside did scan
But they came back to tell the king the only happy person they did find
Was not wearing a shirt and did not seem right in his mind
Most people interested in making money but it does seem fair to say
That they cannot buy happiness since life works in this way.
