An $850.00 Day…


Normally I would say no way,


How can one spend that money in a day,


But after the optometrist,


Then buying the glasses,


Never again will I grumble at my honey…


 


That’s not to tell you of the stuff I got for Rufuz,


Damn that dog costs big bucks for a big pile of fuzz,


But now his breath will be clean,


And his teeth will shine and gleam…


 


All that money and I didn’t get to eat,


Though I did finally spend a few on cheese steak meat,


Now more for tomorrow, doctor prescriptions,


Wonder if money was as free flowing in the land of the Egyptians…?


 


Oh what the hell, I can’t take it with me,


And for sure making money certainly ain’t free,


But I held on to it as long as I could,


Now I will be able to better see, the way I absolutely should…

It is so good as writers to have a sense of humor through anything. You are so right that we cant take noting with u when God take us home to rest. We are only here to work and spend it before others fight for it when we are long gone.
