THE
PSONGS
OF
NICHOLAS THE SENIOR
The Master of Money fears no one
Psong 44
gOnly the Master of Money can be truly honest; for he is the only one who can know to a certainty that he would not change his ways for a big enough check.
2hHe does not need to make up stories about how much he disdains Money; ihe does not have to develop a convenient memory about the surprising things he will do for some tiny pittance.
3He does not have to mount ridiculous charades to impress his successful friends; he does not have to tell everyone that his limousine is being repaired and that his good clothes were stolen with his luggage.
4jHe does not have to pretend that he likes living in rundown neighborhoods; he does not have to explain that his wife regards giant diamonds as ostentatious.
5kYes. the Master of Money can be who he is; he alone is free to admit that great wealth is the best of all goals to attain.
