SALVE
Someday
after I've worked hard and long
and I've made something of myself
earning my keep and making my name,
and fame and fortune have been mine
to lose - but I haven't -
when I'm wealthy,
when I'm well off,
when I have achieved my success,
I will prove it
by buying a slave.
I'll be good to him,
a kind master,
a brave owner,
whom no one can deny
deserves his booty
from toil gone by.
I will treasure my slave
and keep him well.
My slave will be a paragon
of responsibility,
a blessing
in chains,
a best friend who unburdens
for his master.
He will be my gentleman's gentleman
a servant unparalleled
a good old boy.
I will earn my slave
from all my work
and then I'll be free of it
forevermore.
