The Billionaires Pledge

Oh, life certainly is fair

For the av'rage billionaire

As he or she gloms money by the bale.

They never seem to tire

Of putting it to hire

And letting others worry if they fail.

Now I read here in the papers

That to justify their capers

All these plutocrats are pledged to charity.

They will give half of their profit

To those that they have saw fit

Ought to benefit from some slight parity.

This is certainly heart-warming,

Even if it is barn-storming,

Though to billionaires it might seem just small snackses.

Still and all I can't help feeling,

Though this gesture is appealing,

It'd be better for them to pay all their taxes.
