Stingy Man

The stingy man is one who saves... Beyond the rainy day...
And far beyond the point where he... Has any time to play
... He is the one who never wants... To spend a cent at
all... Not even once to entertain... The friends who come to
call... He lets you buy his coffee and... His daily dinner too
... But he will never use his purse... To do the same for you
... He always claims that he is broke... When in reality... He
merely wants to gather up... Whatever goods are free... And
while he may enjoy the things... He gets from day to day... He
never knows the greater joy... Of giving them away.
