To Sleep...

To sleep,
Perchance to dream
Of a great life,
A prosperous scene,
Suite at the Plaza,
Chauffeur-driven limousine,
Living in elegance and style,
Travel world-wide
From Paris to the Nile,
Never any lack of money,
And your wife an heiress-honey
And you're well known
Throughout the nation as
Head of a large corporation;
Yes to sleep,
Perchance to dream,
Then to wake - homeless
On a slummy sidewalk scene...
