Analysis of United We Stand Divided We Fall



I wish I had a Trillion Bucks,

I would get it all in Ones.

I would throw it up into the Air

Above the heads of Greedy Pompinaires.

I would sit and watch and laugh

The Pompinaires all run around.

They would run around in circles,

All filling up their pockets.

Until, they one day realized

They were standing all alone.

Their pockets stuffed with useless paper,

Their Destiny UNKNOWN!
