Explore "The Rich Man" by Franklin P. Adams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

The rich man has his motor-car, / His country and his town estate. / He smokes a fifty-cent cigar / And jeers at Fate.

He frivols through the livelong day, / He knows not Poverty her pinch. / His lot seems light, his heart seems gay, / He has a cinch.

Yet though my lamp burns low and dim, / Though I must slave for livelihood -- / Think you that I would change with him? / You bet I would!
