Feathering His Own Nest Poem by Francis Duggan

When they say he is 'feathering his own nest'
They mean at self promotion he is best
And that he only observe the unwritten commandment
'Man mind thyself and to hell with all the rest'.

He believe in take but not in give and sharing
'Man mind thyself of thine own self take care'
And only take but never give to others
And what's mine is mine and what's mine is not to share.

To feather his own nest he uses money
And feathering his own nest he enjoys
And money he say give one social status
And with every million comes a social rise.

At feathering his own nest he is as good as any
And he is very fond of I and me
And to him those two are always most important
And next in line his wife and family.

He feathers his own nest with heaps of money
And you might say his nest egg grows and grows
And I and me those two are most important
And he doesn't spare a thought for others woes.
