You Cannot take It With You

The wealth and all that goes with it that made his a celebrated name
That won for him admirers and widespread fame
To him are not of any use today
That the dead have no status does seem true to say

No longer one of the admired people of the town
Life's Reaper does not respect wealth, fame and renown
In life he had some big business friends and was not without foes
This is how it is for the wealthy and famous one does suppose

His fammily are wishing on each other ill
In the high court of law disputing his will
All that is left between them is mistrust and hate
Two of the things that material wealth and money create

The saying you cannot take it with you it's own self does explain
An urn of ashes is all of him that remain
His family in court disputing his will
Such cases the coffers of lawyers does fill.
