Poverty Science

A few years ago,
With nothing to show,
And nowhere particular to go,
I waved goodbye, with a sigh,
To what was left of my property,
Immediately taking an oath of poverty,
And, as my friends are wont to dispel,
This judgment has been working out rather well;
I have found it a thrill to shop Goodwill,
It's great to go to the day-old bread store on Stale Lane,
Where everybody knows your name,
If ever I must go to Doctor Amples,
I won't leave without a bag of free samples,
My 17-year old car tends to leak,
But I shan't cry,
As a matter of fact,
So do I;
Now, a telemarketer called me yesterday,
Having this to say,
"Are you paying too much,
For what your telephone service can bring?"
My reply was with a gleam in my eye,
"Not if you use two tin cans and a string."
