Do you wanna hear a funny
Tale of a man with money?
Well, there was a man with money
He, one day, said, “Listen, Honey
We’ll put our money in shares
And we’ll soon be millionaires
That’s how our old friend, Gary
Mary Livingstone and Harry
Made tons of money overnight
Honey, do you think I’m right?”
…
His wife didn’t like the thought
But she didn’t bother a lot
“Do what you must or will
As long as you pay my bills.”
…
So the man set off next day
And put all his money away
In all sorts of stocks and shares
To end all of their despairs
But now he had no cash
For his wife to swag and flash
The stocks fell, she felt remorse
Soon she filed for divorce
And a hefty alimony was won
Only left the man with a son
But the man didn’t bother to mope
For he had a lot of hope
With his shares to end his strife
And he’d find another wife
…
Days passed by and years went too
The man felt lonely and blue
And his son didn’t find it amusing
That all his stocks were losing
For now he had a wife of his own
And he didn’t want to end up alone
And he had a lot of sons too
T’was getting hard to keep the two
…
But the man didn’t budge a bit
Though his stocks took a mighty hit
Now his son went and left him too
And took all his grandsons too
The man didn’t bother to mope
For he had a lot of hope
That his fortune was about to turn
And soon he’d bring back his son
…
Days passed by and years went too
And one day out of the blue
His shares saw a tremendous rise
All the prices touched the skies
He went and sold his shares
Thanked God for answering his prayers
But tragedy struck the next day
The unfortunate man passed away
His grandsons found it very funny
Amongst them, they split the money
And that’s the funny, funny, funny
Tale of a man with money
ouch…how selfish is mankind and how unpredictable is life.
