I have no wealth or property.

To give men cause to envy me

Nor do I envy anyone

I earn my crust as best I may

Do something different every day.

Sleep peacefully when day is done.

Though other men strive for success.

I’m not ambitious. I confess

I shirk responsibility.

I decided long ago.

To drift along, go with the flow.

I live my life completely free.

From worry and anxiety.

Happy to be a nobody.
