How we all love the touch;
I hate it, that I love it so much.
With money, there’s always something to do;
Don’t lie, you know it’s true.
House note, car note, hospital bills;
Can you believe, the cost of pills.
Quite hectic, managing your finances;
But life, you know it enhances.
Fighting for your right, to earn some cash;
Hopefully for your retirement, you did stash.
The Stock Market, is there if you dare;
Thieves and crooks, everywhere.
Bernie took others millions, in a Ponzi scheme;
Lucky in jail, or murderers would team.
He lied to their face, then money he did take;
Surely in Hell, he will bake.
Payola is good, after a week’s work;
Helps get out from under, the financial murk.
Paid on Friday, spent by Sunday;
But hey, that’s the American way.
Kids want green backs, they like new toys;
Video games, make men boys.
The wife always, wants a new dress;
Dig in your wallet, and bank account they will mess.
Never get a raise, for your diligence;
Ever, not even sixpence.
Duckets are a funny name for currency, it all spends the same;
We all still crave it, by any other name.
If I won the Lottery, I’d buy me a big home;
In which, my friends and I could roam.
The electric bills, will be expensive;
Every month, I would be pensive.
Won’t stay there long, them’s the facts;
Can’t afford, the property tax.
Government takes your money, without a thanks;
Doesn’t leave much, in your banks.
We all love money, it allows us to live;
Too bad we lose it, like water through a sieve.
Cash, Money, Green Backs, a dollar;
All for riches, stand up and holler.
Spend it all, is my advice;
Maybe buy yourself, something quite nice.
Go out for the day, and do some shopping;
Buy what you want, without stopping.
Can’t take it with you, no armored cars at a funeral;
Many have tried, like Pharaohs, but it’s been futile.
My advice to you is not to stress, we’ll all get by;
Some carry dread, until the day they die.
Spend your last dollar, on your last breath;
Having some fun, up until your death.
Have some laughs, and spend your dough;
When the World ends, we do not know.
