The Something More of Midas Magee

Midas Magee

One day grew tired

Of all the want

He had acquired

It had grown grey

And rotten, too

Midas declared

It would not do

And so he knocked

On every door

To see if there

Was something more

But every cabinet

Every drawer

Was full of want

And nothing more

He met with kings

And well-dressed queens

He met the ones

With fewer things

He asked each one

Of what they knew

But they just sighed

For they searched, too

He searched the world

But in his hunt

The only thing

He found was want

And when he thought

His search a loss

A final hope

He came across

A country house

'Neath sunny skies

And there a girl

With cheerful eyes

She took him in

She smiled and cared

And everything

She had she shared

She gave him clothes

And fresh baked bread

And somewhere safe

To lay his head

And Midas thanked

His God above

His something more

He'd found, was love.
