ah si j'etais riche
oh if I were rich
I wouldn't work
I wouldn't even lift a finger
I'd let all my servants do the work
I have black, brown and yellow ones
see, I'm not a racist
I give to charity
poor people need to be helped
they're too dumb to help themselves
that's why people like me exist

This probably can't be considered a poem, but it's one of my favourite things I've ever written. Inspired by the title of a Les Elles song (curiously called "ah si j'etais riche").
