]No one made me wear a tie
To look like a success…
A glass of wine and attitude,
Is what made me pass the test.
I shied away from woolen suits
I favored cowboy boots…
Attracted to the movers,
Who did not forget their roots.
Lost fortunes to the businessmen,
Following their money path…
Made a living with the real folks…
Those friends who helped me laugh.
Gold prices, the stock market,
Real estate or latest trend…
Paled to the investment,
Of working with a friend.
If I died tomorrow,
Broke, and wearing not a stitch,
I hope the obits remember,
That memories made me rich.
A voluntary orphan
In a sometimes-chaotic state,
Living an entertaining life.
Inviting the most endearing fate.
Beware the perfect people
Wearing expensive designer jeans…,
They are usually just posers
Living way beyond their means.
