THE INHERITANCE
Come in, the frailed but still strong voice said
From the somber room where he was laid God forbid
To rest now by his relatives indeed
As they waited for him to die and meanwhile overbid
Each other all the time, far and wide
As who had done this, and that for him by his bedside.
As all of them dream and had long time ago decided
In their very cold hearts that his money shouldn't be divide
Equally as the old man had for many years hinted and confide.
They did't want the court or lawyers to be their legal guide
No way they'd let the lawyers to take them for a ride
No matter what amount of money their greedy heads implied.
The poor old man knew exactly what was going on inside
Their greedy hearts so he called them all aside
To tell them all the truth that for years so dearly he hid
There was no more great fortune, no money for them to slide
In any bank account or to moon-eyed
Anymore in their silly and emptied heads and that all that was done and said
Upon hearing this they all went shaking in shock and tongue-tied
They all were a sight! and they were all bug-eyed!!
It seems that after all they'd been taken for a cruel joyride
Instead and by the old man that all of them has mislead.
All of sudden they all started to laugh til' they were wild-eyed
So undignified they went downslide
They've lost it all even before it was provided
And one by one in twisted file they left the old man inside
Still laughing, his money was gone, it was time he got rid of the weed and God speed!
He had so much fun while it his money lasted,in the end he had won indeed!
He'd beat them all in the game, long time ago he's decided
And now he was taking it all with him beyond this graveside!
