$$$Money$$$

for Money contest This is an awful poem! In fact SOS... it sucketh!

That'll be $5.88$ please
said the clerk at the window
I gave him a twenty
said, you keep the change

$

His face lit up like a kid at Christmas
wow, thanks, he said
said I, sure thing

$

Money is just paper
I don't care much for
but my my,  have it
 
to eat, sleep, stay warm

$

Were it up to me I would burn it
causes lots of woe
I had rather see that smile
for the price of only $14.12$

$

If I had a million I would give you half
sorry but I only have the smile
of a sixteen - year old clerk
from the McDonalds where he works-

Money means naught to me -

 $(good thing as I have none)$
               $$$

I like the Pink Floyd song too! This was great Chloe. An often misquoted verse in the Bible comes from St. Paul. It is often misquoted as, Money is the root of all evil. But that is NOT what Paul said. Money, being an inanimate object can be neither good nor evil. What Paul said is this, "The love of money is the root of all sorts of evil" 1st Timothy 6:10. He could just as well have said, greed is the root of all sorts of evil. It only takes looking around a bit to see how true that is today as it was then. It is a timeless axiom. Here's wishing that you never want for the things you need and never need for the things you want. Bless.

I like the tone of this poem, very carefree and comical. Money is not everything, you're completely right about that much. "Good thing I have none"...lol, made me laugh.

Now let me borrow twenty dollars.

[Gandré]

so you made him happy... I hope this didn't make him greedy for more money, you never know.. lol I like this concept, it was sweet. I love the line - Money means naught to me -

$(good thing as I have none)$ there is even ambiguity, what one doesn't possess that has no meaning, it's not there. I asked myself, what did she buy there for $5.88 for the German McDonalds have nothing I want, rarely I like their soft ice. In winters I would buy it and eat on the street. haha. Great poem, Chloe, I hope, you win!

[The Analog Kid]

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]
