Should anyone know what you make

Fine furniture yes toccatas yes

Rumbling noises they’ll figure it out

Methane gas undeniable short of

Your business agent your accountant

Your banker doesn’t get to know

Everything unless you’re applying

For a loan we seem to think it’s ok

To let some know your boss doesn’t

Need to know you’ve got outside income

But your barber your neighbor the

Mailman sometimes they find out

They’re not bound by professional

Confidences so it’s best not to trumpet

What you might consider success to

Others who will wonder how you

Managed to scramble that high up

The corporate government university

Ladder unless of course on hearing

The gruesome facts they wonder 

Why you work so hard for so little 

Still they may not clue you in on

The disparity unless you’re an old 

Frat bro who needs to be schooled

For whom they are feeling so sorry 

Hell it’s your life struggle if you must

Maybe you have some urge to suffer

For real or imagined misdeeds

Dr. Phil says you let the world treat 

You as you think you deserve

That’s why some are at the top

The rest are far behind not like some

Snake charming Hindu is going to

Become the next Andrew Carnegie

By thinking himself worth it get real

Look at Jay-Z Sean Combs Diddy

Whatever they climbed up high

Using what was available they 

Weren’t born to it like the big mouth

Guy with the comb-over he’s got a

Few shekels more than his dad 

Left him he lies if he tells you what he’s

Worth that’s expected you didn’t

See Mormon Mitt rush to be honest 

About what he’s knocking down 

By shaking companies up 

None of them talks about 

What they’ve got on the side 

Dumping in to the general 

Coffers keep those cards close to your

Chest never know when you can

Grab the golden goose just you 

A friend and a carefully crafted law

Those eggs keep plopping name it

After something nobody will ever

Trace to you keep it off shore you can

Always get a plane boat visit

Your stash piling up in the Caymans

I hear it’s very nice this time of year

In Dubai Davos Martinique
