The Other World is too much with me
And not enough getting and spending
I live downtown, not high atop Parnassus
Though I do consort more with the muses
Than I do with the Dow Jones Industrials
I bask in Apollo’s rays
Even in the coldest economic climate
Nectar is the food of the gods
My food is peanut butter and jelly
My books, musical instruments, art
Content me with little cash
I’ve made calculations, estimations, projections
Playing Prometheus with my present, future, future finances
I’m alright, going to be alright
