What Does Man Love More Than Life?
What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?
Nothing. This one is similar to Greater than God, but different enough to include it here.

Only when he last closes his eyes.
A prince.
Sometimes I’m An Insult
Sometimes I’m an insult,
Sometimes I’m a meal,
But if you see me hanging around,
I hope to change how you feel.
A turkey.
