MONEY How much money did I need?, let me count the ways. Money bought me a grandfather clock, with a tick, a tock, and a chime, But I was always on the run, I’ll soon run out of time. Money bought me the finest medicine Cause I had a little wealth, But it did me no good I still lost my health. Money bought me a library of books, with plenty of knowledge, But I didn’t make enough time And I never went to college? Money bought me a real fine home, complete with a cat and mouse, But I thought I needed to roam, And all I had was a lonely house. Money can buy almost anything, Right up to the End, But it has never bought me the warmth of a friend. Money can’t buy anything but pain and suffering anyway. So to save YOU from this pain, Send all that you have, my way. I started with nothing and still have almost all of it. |

Cute! 'Tis true, money can only buy you temporary happiness. Still, I don't have any to send your way! God, or the gods above, let me be poor to master this thing called poverty! Thanks for the enjoyable read! ~~Jamie "...I mean, when I first met you, you were all like, 'Oh Phooey, I burned the darn muffins.' Now, you walk into a bar, and sailors come runnin' out!" |

LOL I would hate to curse you with more funds! Fortunately, I don't have enough to make it a problem. This is very cute! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Melton; A very cleverly written but sad commentary...and frightfully true. It is the root of all evil. Fortunately I have no fortune, therefore I feel very fortunate... Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

ah money, this was cute with a underlying grain of truth... "Come...dance with me, into my world of words." |

Jamie, Marilyn, Suzanne, ellie, Wordancer, Thanks for reading. Making money isn't my objective anymore. I don't want to be filthy rich, but a little dirt never hurt any one. Melton |
