Something That's Beyond Me To Explain Poem by Francis Duggan

The wealthiest person in the town not happy he talks as if he were in poverty
In much wants more there is some truth it does seem with such a saying i am one who agree
Some people they are happy to make ends meet they do it tough but never do complain
And why some with heaps of money are unhappy is something that's beyond me to explain
If i did not know how wealthy he is for him i'd feel sorry though in some ways he is poor as poor can be
Those who say that poverty can be quite relative know what they are on about 'twould seem to me
Of that the wealthiest person in the town a good example the aspirational his praises may sing
But despite his wealth he remains as unhappy which goes to show money is not everything
Those who are unhappy in their own way are quite poor some refer to it as poverty of the mind
Lucky are they who in their lives are contented since there are many of the unhappy kind
Money buys them women, big cars and things material but money never buys them happiness
Though money speaks the words of every language and money most people is known to impress
The wealthiest person in the town it is said though not the happiest person for to meet
You'd swear to hear him that he is a pauper a homeless fellow of Poverty Street.
