Analysis of The rich man
The rich man
I saw this rich man walking down the street
He had Adidas on his feet
With a solid gold tooth,
That shined as he talked.
With money in his pocket,
That jingled as he walked.
He walked by the flower girl's
Whose baskets smelled of honey
With his face full of care
And his mind full of money.
I saw this rich man,
He never saw me.
So i see more then the rich man can see.

About this poem
It's a poem about a boy who saw this rich man looking all glamorous and smart, without any care or worry in this world. But this rich man might have had everything but couldn't see anything
