I am rich to the extreme,
I can do, whatever I please.
And I have lived a life that
Only some men dream.
I take from the poor
And help my rich friend’s scheme.
I am a modern day Robin Hood,
With one tiny glitch.
For I lay not in wait,
From the poor from which I take,
I just storm their door
And take more and more.
Untold wealth have I
and villainous glory is mine.
Someday you will see,
Of that which I partook
Was really a crime,
And if you examined me
You would truly see,
That I am in reality,
a crook.
However for now,
We will leave it at that.
For if I were to reveal too much,
I could not continue to grow fat.
Some of you know who I am
For I watch you everyday.
However, at this time
I will not say,
For I wish to remain
A mystery.
