The Secret of Success
if you want
a show of
popularity
love and respect
devoted attentive
generous friends
be super wealthy
and well connected
or attach yourself to someone who is
then
watch it all fall away
in a heart beat
if circumstances change
then
sit on the beach
preferably with a gorgeous pauper poet
breathe a sigh of relief to be out of there
and laugh your head off



LOL LOL right alongside you!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I am in I go for the pauper poet on the beach at any time
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll take the beach and the gorgeous pauper poet any time! (Ha ha, come to think of it, I AM the gorgeous pauper poet! So the beach is still preferable, even on my own.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, the wealthy and well-connected have so many friends. Until they don't! I'll take a beach by myself any old day.
