THE BENEFICIARY IS BUT I by Ben Nardolilli

Upon these funds, I wish you peace
And satisfaction, knowing

You own what should and should not
Interest you this millennium,

Respectfully released, pride
Can now swell up inside and take

You to the closest life with others
Ever possible under your maiden name.
