Ah si j'etais riche

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").
