I have no strings you pull

No puppet am I.

Just a cut from the old sod,

That you can plant anywhere.

 

I have rubbed noses

With the Hoy Paloy,

And never batted an eye,

At least not that you could see.

 

Still I'm at my best when kidding around

With guys I know so well.

Let them have their caviar,

I'll still stick with my hot dogs.

 

Who is happier, it's hard to say,

As each likes what they are doing.

A few extra bucks I'll not sneeze at,

As I can always put them to good use.

Your cut is not sodden, like an extra dollar, it's been put to good use!

A wonderful way to look at life. Once in a while, I enjoy a good hot dog. But I'll partake of a steak if offered.
