A chapter in the book People

Gunga Dindin Gotchergoat

by Bill Schott



Gunga Dindin Gotchergoat
a miserly old misanthrope
is cleaner than a bar of soap
and just as good to talk to.

If he gives you the time of day
it is because that in that way
he'll prove you do not earn your pay
in the hours given to you.

Gotchergoat's the kind of chap
to have ghosts visit in a nap
show present, past, and future crap
in hopes to make him new.

But these spirits won't prevail
without a profit margin... fail
'cause he's the hammer, not the nail
so, I guess that we are through.
