'I asked my dog what he thought is the best in man
He said, "The love you dispense to me twice daily from a can."
I said, "Why do you think my question's funny?
And where would you be without my money?"
I said, "There must be some quality in us you treasure."
"It's despair," he said, "of which your money is the measure."'
