The World’s 40 Richest
Now Combined and Worth
More Than a Trillion
Screams today’s Yahoo! News headline
At least as tabulated by the
Bloomberg Billionaire Index
And believe me
Mike ought to know
He’s very good
At keeping track of
Such things
And I’m further sure
You’ll be happy to hear
That Prince Alwaleed
Has just joined the Index
There’s no secret to success
The Prince is quoted
As saying in an email sent
From his Arabian tent
Or perhaps from his chalet
High atop the Alps
It is based on a sound investment strategy
Commitment and long-term vision
The very principles
I should note
On which
I have based this
Hugely successful
Collection of free verse
