A Vanished Friend

A VANISHED FRIEND
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
Before I know it, a year is gone.
Never did i see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine when, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on him"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!- yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir" "He died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

The Rich, Greedy and the Poor

THE RICH GREEDY AND POOR
It is easy to rob a Greedy man, because he deserves to be robbed; its easy to rob a Rich man, because he affords to be robbed; but it is difficult to rob a Poor man.

Rich man or a Greedy man or a Poor man would not keep his money under a pillow or mattress; but he’d locks it up in a safe place.
I have made a study of these three types of people and came to an understanding of their faces, when they loose something of material value or money:
The Greedy man shows Panic;
The Rich man shows Anger;The Poor man shows Fear
