All in All

I have been fat
And I have been thin,
I have been poor
And I have been rich,
But all in all
One cannot be
Too rich or
Too thin.
My friend Zack
Used to say
If you ain’t invited
Don’t come,
But all in all
Why go?
My friend Philip
Used to say
Let your conscience
Be your guide,
It still makes
Me smile.
A conscience,
How inconvenient,
I think I should have
It removed but my
Conscience tells me
But all in all
It is well within
The spirit of the game,
One’s grasp should
Exceed one’s reach
Or what’s a
Conscience for.
