Sing the poor, Sing the poor

... The 'boiled frog' analogy was first used by former US Vice President Al Gore in his environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth.
... According to the old adage, if you put a frog in hot water, it will try to escape. But if you place it cool water that heats to boiling slowly, the frog will stay put and eventually die.
However, some experts reject the 'boiled frog' theory.
According to Professor Victor Hutchinson of the zoology department at the University of Oklahoma, 'The 'boiled frog'... is definitely an urban myth. I have investigated the thermal tolerance in reptiles and amphibians for many years.
'If one places the animal in a container and slowly heats it, the animal will at some point invariably try to escape,' he told Reuters...

The Poor Can Sing.
What sad tears does the poor man cry
With hand held out in hungerÂ’s pain
Who cares or pities as they pass by
And poor man sings a soulful refrain
This song that all impoverish learn
The slave and those trod underfoot
Such words are no manÂ’s concern
The tune softened by music's mute
No noise is raised to make protest
For whip and club does rain blows
Quiet is poor mans own interest
For silence is best, that he knows
His only weapon is the free song
Sung softly under lowered eyes
Knows best, the poor, to get along
Sing instead of giving in to cries
Comes the day and comes the man
Comes freedom without the wrong
Poor downtrodden carried the can
But comes the day, comes the song

What Song Did He Sing?
Adapted, any related coincidental!
A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull out a wad of crisp S$50 notes out of his wallet.
He turns to the rich man and says to him,
"I have an amazing talent; I know almost every song that has ever been sung."
The rich man laughs.
The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it."
The rich man laughs again and says, "OK, how about my daughter's name, Wee Su Min?"
The rich man goes home 'poor'. The poor man goes home 'rich'.

THE RICH MAN AND THE POOR MAN
by BOB MILLER, 1932
There's just two kind of people, the sinner and the saint;
There's one that gets and always got while the other poor one ain't.
Oh, the rich man drives his Lincoln past the red light with a grin,
And the poor man follows right behind in his little hunk of tin.
There's a motorcycle copper following upon their trail;
Oh, the rich man tears his ticket, but the poor man goes to jail.
Oh, the rich man takes the high road anywhere that he may go,
But when the poor man's travelin' he must always take the low.
So if you're rich you'll travel snug as peas are in the pod;
Oh, the rich man rides a cushion and the poor man rides the rods.
Oh, the rich man when he's ailing stays at home and calls the doc,
But the poor man has to go to work, be in time to punch a clock.
The rich man takes his medicine, has his doctors and his nurse;
So the rich man he gets better but the poor man he gets worse!
Oh, the rich man steals a million from the bank that he controls,
While the poor man steals a loaf of bread or a penny's worth of rolls.
They take them to the courthouse, one is laughing, one's in tears;
Oh, the rich man gets an apology while the poor man gets ten years!
Oh, the rich man gets a lawyer and the lawyer pleads his case,
While the poor man asks for sympathy but of that there is now trace.
So if you're rich don't worry but the poor must give up hope;
Oh, the rich man gets acquitted while the poor man gets the rope!
Oh, the rich man when he kicks off has a casket made of gold,
While the poor man has a wooden box and his grave looks mighty cold.
The rich man gets a sermon but here's one thing that's sure,
When the rich man takes that last long ride he's as much dead as the poor! -

THE POOR FORGOTTEN MAN by BOB MILLER 1932Originally posted by TYING:
What are u talking abt?
Who's gonna vote on election day?
Who's finally gonna have his say?
Who's gonna cause a change -- hey, hey!
It's the poor forgotten man!
Who's been the backbone of our country?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Who always fought for liberty?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Politicians sing and dance
Got the poor man in a trance.
Who gets kicked right in his pants?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Who always pays when we win a war?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Who starves to death when he can't pay more?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Up in our great capital town
Men get callouses from sittin' down.
Who pays for this great renown?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Who raises kids while the rich raise hell?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Who'd think a good square meal was swell?
It's the poor forgotten man!
Contented cows drink from meadow pools
The beer we drink nowadays makes us fools.
Somewhere there's contented mules
Says the poor forgotten man!
Now who's gonna vote on election day?
Who's finally gonna have his say?
Who's gonna cause a change -- hey, hey!
It's the poor forgotten man!
