The Road to Riches 

How to get rich in America? 
Let me count the ways 
You could work hard 
And play by the rules. 
But only if your enjoyment 
Is eventual unemployment. 

Some prefer the ponzi scheme 
And the noble art of fraud 
Whereby the dollars flow 
Like waters over Niagara. 
A pity this well-worn trail 
Tends in the end to lead to jail. 

Better by far is the corporate route 
And the largest corner office. 
From whence you execute 
Schemes and transactions 
To swell your own compensation 
At the expense of a clueless nation. 

The living is nothing short of regal 
And best of all it's perfectly legal.
