No One Made Me Wear a Tie

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.
