some would say the farmer
was poor
for he had no cow
but only chickens, a goat
dogs and cats
some think themselves poor
because their house has
only 1 bathroom
lacks Kohler fixtures
now to be rich
the sailor needs tide and wind
the farmer needs sunshine and gentle
rain
the lover
a kiss
the priest a vocation
the enthusiast an avocation
the musician
a voice
all to be shared
