I’ve never sought fame,
and I’ve never searched for fortune,
even though the hand I was dealt
was such a small portion.
But when you’re used to having little,
brimming isn’t what you need.
Your life becomes humble,
never filled with pointless greed.
So, I’m thankful for my lot in life;
I’ve been doing just fine.
Meager but abundantly happy
and wonderfully resigned.

Poor ol Rinky Dinky
Was scorned for his name
But one thing it did
Was bring him great fame
And isn’t it funny
How the struggles we face
Can often turn around
To be things we embrace

She put him to shame
With her hypnotic fame
He cast insults
While she hurled blame
One final blow
Finished their toxic game
Sending her back
To whence she came
