Poem...i know it isnt a forward but oh well

[Star♫]

.05

if i had a nickel
for all the women who've
rejected me in my life
i would be the head of the
world bank with a flunkie
to hold my derby as i
prepared to fly chartered
jet to sign a check
giving India a new lease
on life

if i had a nickel for
all the women who've loved
me in my life i would be
the world bank's assistant
janitor and wouldn't need
to wear a derby
all i'd think about would
be going home
