GOLDEN EGG

THERE’S A CERTAIN AESOP FABLE PEOPLE READ

THE MORAL OF THAT STORY’S ABOUT GREED

SAYS THAT WHEN YOU WANT MORE THAN YOU GOT

INEVITABLY LOSE WHAT’S IN YOUR POT

LIKE SOME DOG WHOSE HABIT IS TO BEG

OR A FOOL WHO’S HOPPING ON ONE LEG

WHY KEEP WAITING ON A GOOSE TO LAY THE GOLDEN EGG?

AMBITION’S THERE TO GET YOU OUT OF BED

BUT WAY TOO MUCH REALLY SCREWS YOUR HEAD

KNOWING WHERE TO DRAW THAT LINE IS HARD

LIKE JUDY SAID, “IT’S RIGHT IN YOUR BACKYARD”

LIKE A FOOL WHO AIN’T AFRAID TO BEG

FROM SOME BIRD THAT TAKES YOU DOWN A PEG

SO WHY KEEP LOOKING FOR A GOOSE TO LAY THE GOLDEN EGG?

WHEN THE RABBIT FOOT FUR IS ALL RUBBED DOWN

AND MAGIC WANDS HAVE ALL LEFT TOWN

WHEN WILL THERE EVER BE ENOUGH?
