The Rich Young Ruler #1
A reflection on the relative riches of the Rich Young Ruler. The rich young ruler was very, very rich. He didn’t need to sew; he didn’t need to stitch. He bought all his clothes from Magnificent Mitch: The most expensive shop in town.

The Rich Young Ruler – Odd Odes
The rich young ruler was very, very rich.
He didn’t need to sew; he didn’t need to stitch.
He bought all his clothes from Magnificent Mitch:
The most expensive shop in town.
The rich young ruler was very, very young.
His lips were perfect; so was his tongue.
He’d climbed the social ladder to the very top rung:
He couldn’t climb any higher.
The rich young ruler was always in charge.
He had a big business; his workforce was large.
He rode a Turbo Camel; he drove a Bentley Barge
In the grounds of his very own mansion.
The rich young ruler had everything you need,
Except in one area where he wasn’t up to speed:
The A List for Eternal Life – he’d do any deed…
Except give his money to the poor and put God First.
Rich young ruler wasn’t really rich at all.
Matthew 19
