Making Millions and Friends
There was a whiz kid
Skilled at making a bid
Getting all the right deals
Being earnest never needing to steal
Took a day off
Claiming he had a cough
Sneaked out to his favorite watering trough
Where he sat all day
Not getting any pay
Taking another round
Enjoying the best Busch in town
“I head you like to fish
And get every wish”
His friendly server said
After the banker boy was well fed
“Yes I do”
Almost finishing drinking the brew
“I call it good P.R
Like talking at a bar”
Human interaction
A successful amusement attraction
Above in the television speakers
There was information for entrepreneur seekers
Hearing the business fellow
Explaining something as he bellows
Relaxing in the pub style cellar
This young chap
Not acting trapped
Was ready to call it a wrap
Upon leaving he mentioned something funny
To those working for money
They laughed
Thinking this patron only knew how to do the math
More importantly he was polite
Providing their afternoon delight
When things were done
Ending talkative fun
A stranger known to spin the lucky wheel
Enjoyed having the urge do something so others heal
It is not money one makes
Instead the time it takes
To talk and listen
About where to be in a social position
Choking on a tie
Having to lie
Or downing a few
Living honest and true
