Genius

If rich, you shall be seen by all.
If poor, you shall be ignored...
So said the poet McGonagall. 

If we just read it without music...
Not that artificial bell and hop...
Just read it like prose,
And let the music naturally aspirate...
It would not create the funny effect it does.
And we'd get an entire education.

I must say, I see myself in him.
I see myself in Chaucer, also.
What we learn, is politics makes the man;
And boasts leave you destitute.
But, McGonagall is right.
Genius is rewarded, more for the wealthy
Than for the poor.
