Oh how splendid,

another million?

How grand,

I must have expected.

For I have the wealth of a kingdom of thousands,

all for me and my demand.

Yes I admit,

it may be much.

But I need it,

you must understand.

At least I have something to drown my sorrow,

while you wonder of your family,

and if that poor wage will save your daughter.
