Money

You can’t buy happiness

but if I had the cash,

I’d find out what the price was

and pay it in a flash.

 

They say money’s just an object

that it can’t set you free,

but I can’t think of one person

opposed to a spending spree.

 

I  don’t need a fortune

I just want a share,

and if I’d end up miserable

that’d be my cross to bear.

 

So everyone send a dollar

or any amount to my address,

and when I’m rich and miserable

I’ll try to sort out my own mess!

I giggled out loud!

(I'm sure my last flatmate moved out because of NeoPoet, what sane person sits in their room alternately laughing and crying in front of a computer?) I work 25 hours a week on a shop clerks pay but am a rich man. I can pay my rent, eat tasty treats, even in a restaurant once a month or so, see plays, bands and movies. Who could want more? Loved this, Doc cheers, Jess
