and this was proven to me when my world turned to
.It’s not all that far from the top of the heap
down to the gutter – it’s a small push or leap.
Between lawyers and family and just plain old greed
my wealth quickly departed with amazing speed.
What money remained was soon under duress
and sucked into a black hole called the “I.R.S.”
By the time all the leeches had sucked up my blood,
I was left with five dollars and my dog named “Bud”.
Well, the last of my money just got up and went,
It’s just me and the dog by a stream in a tent.
I invested in K-Mart, I blew the whole roll
on a three dollar and ninety five cent fishing pole.
There’s fish on the fire and Bud at my feet -
with food and a friend, my life is complete.
And it came to me, sitting here by this stream,
you’re extremely rich when you’re living your dream.

Adding your comment:
Sometimes there is much truth said in the jest of humour. A great take on the prompt I enjoyed where you took this one.
Good luck in the contest.
