The Fine Things In Life

I believe the fine things in life are free Not cash or opulent trappings of wealth, Material doodads purchased with glee At the top of my list would be good health Nothing valued obtained by greed or stealth-- Family and friends--the top of my list A good reputation--not to be missed Having a spouse, considerate and kind Evenings at home, occasionally kissed Surely these things can't be too hard to find.

Interesting observations, Milt. A healthy diet often leads to good health, and costs less than a diet of junk... As for finding the right gal, well --- some luck out; others spend tons of money and suffer repeated broken hearts. Oh, well... All that said, the point you've made is well taken. ~ Diamonds on Each Finger Wolf (Cubic zirconium, of course).
