Vanity game

Let’s play!

Who dies with the most toys winsIs the lifetime game of rich cretins.My castle is bigger and I have more land!How often I hear that argument!

The toys of sex are easy to acquireBut the more you get, the less the desireWhen flesh is weak, no amount of moneyWould keep in your bed a gorgeous honey

The precious metals, that’s the real passion!Silver and gold are always in fashionYou like their weight, you like how they soundWhen you will die, they will still be around

The real estate is a precious toyA burden in taxes, but so much joyDogs, fences and guards will make people guessingWhat’s hiding behind the “No Trespassing”?
