I’ll Never Be a Millionaire

You ask me how I spend my time

I paint, I draw, I write a rhyme

You ask me if I am aware

I’ll never be a millionaire

 

I tell you I am stony broke

And then I ask you, as a joke

If money matters – if you care

That I am not a millionaire

 

Money is for those with greed

I said. I’ve everything I need

A bed, a table, pen and chair

I’ll never be a millionaire

 

I ask you if the working pays-

The nine to five, the boring days

Confined to screen and office chair

You’ll never be a millionaire

 

So who is richer in the end

The worker or the artist, friend?

For life is short – too short to care

To try to be a millionaire
