Brotherly Love (The cheapskate)

by joseph santacruz   Jul 14, 2012


I once knew a man by his possessions he was possessed
If he had a slice of pizza he had to have the rest.

He knew how to take but not how to share
everything he did was underhanded and unfair.

His motto was " Its not better to give then to receive"
As long as he got it all it was OK to deceive.

He was a famous nobody, about him he only cared
I think it mad him mad he had to share the sunshine and the air.

His problem was obvious I diagnosed it in a cinch
his greed was overwhelming, he was the ultimate penny pinch.

All the times I spent (on) him were really quite unpleasant
if rich men act like him I would rather be a peasant.

He took me out to dinner, it wasnt very nice
he gave himself a stomach ache as he worried about the price.

If you try to buy happiness you can never win
alot of poor happy folks know happiness comes from within.

Some folks feel they can buy the all the answers when the questions they dont know
what ever part you are playing you must show up for the show.

In my brothers confusion he thought he had the answers
as I watched his unchecked greed destroy our family like cancer.

So when he calls (collect of course) I wont accept his calls
Its funny how some folks think they have everything when they have nothing at all.
