Arrggghhhh!!!! Money problems *cringe*...y'all hear what i'm sayin?

i wanna talk money.
how to earn it.
how to save it.
how to grow it
(cause i been hearin money grow on trees).

i wanna talk cash.
cause i aint got none.
nada.  zilch.  zipppppppp.
they lied
(still lookin for my pot at the end of the r
ainbow).

i wanna talk green.
at least i think it green.
it aint on scratch offs.
it aint in the slot machines
(specially since i aint got none to play nohow).


i wanna talk cur-ren-cy.
waitin for my paycheck.
waitin for my refund.
always waitin
(but the damn bills gotta be paid whether or not i am).

i wanna talk bucks.
i aint talkin bout no deer.
talkin bout legal tender.
if i only had some
(everyone gettin my paycheck except me).


i wanna talk dough.
i mean serious bread.
i wanna have some in my hand.
i wanna watch it rise
(but i think my damn oven on the blink).

i wanna talk money.
how to earn it.
how to save it.
how to grow it
(cause i been hearin money grow on trees).

I want to talk money also, but I know little about it.
So I'll zip my lip and just enjoy your poem.

A very cool poem, Karla

That is EXCELLENT, Karla. I really really enjoyed this one, I have to save this one. Believe me, money is nice to have, if you know how to not spend it off, but Rene & I spent off something like 300 grand over a period of two years...but if I had it again, I think I would do the same thing all over again, it was too fun...Peace, Ed & rufuz
