A Greedy Man's Prayer MAG

By Anonymous

   Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake,

I pray my relatives don't take:

My jewels and clothes, my Sunday best,

In which I shall be laid to rest.

My mansion and my cars galore,

And nothing should go to the poor.

What good they'll do me, I don't know,

But I won't give what I don't owe.

Happiness is taking it when you go,

And I'm sure I'll use them down below.
