Want to know why I lie, cheat and steal?
Truth is, my father was poor
His father even poorer
So I vowed to veer off
My ways may be wayward
But my bravado is laudable
Still, I feel small
Somehow inadequate -- no matter how large the largesse
Maybe someday I’ll find a treasure trove
Buried in the inner core of my being
Pray God I won’t have to lie, cheat or steal
To claim it
