Why spend your

Amassing

treasure why scrape and

save?

Why look so canny at every

You’ll take no

grave

Landlords and

Must still go

So to my

Our glasses

King Solomon’s glory, so famed in story
Was far outshone by the lily’s guise
But hard winds harden both field and garden
Pleading for pardon, the lily dies

Life’s but a bauble of toil and trouble
The feathered arrow, once shot ne’er found
So, lads and lasses, because life passes
Come fill your glasses for another round

The huckster greedy, he blinds the needy
Their strife’s unheeding, shouts “Money down!”
These special vices, his fancy prices
For a florin value he’ll charge a crown

With hump for trammel, the scripture’s camel
Missed needle’s eye and so came to ground
Why pine for riches, while still you’ve stitches
To hold your britches up? Another round
