Humankind - A True Story

I saw a man walking tall

The riches galore

He had it all

That proudly gait

As if he’ll never fall

I met him in a tavern

And there was he

Surrounded by damsels

Amid pomp and glee

He called for drinks

And I was offered one

Salud! He said

Let there be some fun

There’s no land

Where he hasn’t been

No sight he said

That he haven’t seen

Life is short he said

You gotta win

So much to have

So many to swing

The crowd cheered

The damsels swooned

Champagne on ice

For everyone in the room

The waiters poured on

The spirits soared on

A drink spilled

Over Thee

Everyone startled

And mad was He

A chaperone faltered

Had spilled the drink

The whole party saw

How that raised a stink

Grabbing by collar
