Down to my last dollar
Not knowing what to do
Should I buy the scent of gasoline?
A rubber band or two?
Perhaps a peanut butter cup?
Will it really go that far?
I could make a shrewd investment
on a 100,000 dollar bar.

I would rather hide my dollar
and get by on petty crimes
than sell it to the Asian man
who offered me a dime.

I always get a kick out of your offerings,
Uriah. I'm a fan.
