People Do Like Me

People Do Like Me!

Why are these clocks
		so heavy?
I need all seventeen
		you know!
The rhythm
	   of my ego
		   beats 
		     to their tick-tocks
No less, though - 
	     More would be better

Time is money,
	    you know

I love money -
         It's so very
	     versatile
		You can:  count it
     bill it	    receive it     play with it
take it	    talk about it	     steal it
      roll around in it     hide it
		         Did I mention
	       that I love money?	
What joys they bring me
		Time and Money!
Yes, these clocks
         are that heavy
      But I don't mind,
		really!
No use complaining - 	
	arms sure are tired, though

By the way,
	Did you happen
		to hear
		          about X?
	Mind you,
	        I detest gossip - 
	    the same 
	        I heard happened
			to Y . . . 
I realize
        rumors ruin reputations
	  Really, A hit B
     P and Q told me so

I have a little secret
	    of my own,
		you know
There's much
         you don't know
	           about me!

Did you know
   When I want
	something done
		I know
		     noone will like
	I say my boss
		told me to tell you
			to do it?

Clever, eh?

         I can still be
	      one of you
            and accomplish the tasks
                I've determined
	      important

And don't worry
         about disagreeing
		with me - 
      I'll simply 
	redo 
	   what you did
I don't mind - 
	  It's a pleasure!

So nice
         talking with you
	    Gotta go,
		 though
	 So many more
		   people to screw,
	I mean sue
Please don't misconstrue
	What I'm trying to say is
			I've got stew
		   on the stove
Bye-bye!
