What I think about Money

Money is what I need
Others have it cause of greed
No one gives it to me for free
Every dollar I have is gone
You can never keep it for very long

Since I want more than I earn
Unless I have some more to burn
Can you help a brother with a dime
Keep me happy for a time
Spending what I thought was mine

Money's really hard to get
Yet I never will regret

All the money I have poured
Searching, scamming for a score;     cause
Soon I'll be dead won't need no more.

Man, I saw the acronym before I saw anything else, so I had to wait 2mins for the laughter to subside before I could start reading...!!!!

Really funny stuff. Yet it has the caustic edge of reason that is your style..

"Money is what I need
Others have it cause of greed"

..These lines sound simple but they encompass a wealth of understanding and realism about the value and necessity of money...Some people like it because they need it.. Then they are forced to like it..!

And this line:-

"Spending what I thought was mine"

..Has a very significant relevance to the economic situation the world has fallen into of late..

Good stuff, and entertaining.

loooool very gread read!!! a 100/100!!! Unfortunately, greed is what motivates the world, and money of course. I especially love the last line "Soon i'll be dead, won't need no more"

Beautiful.

Funny, I just brought up in conversation the other day, what it would be like if money had never been put into effect. I questioned whether there would still be greed or if our world would be a happier place. The subject of money reminds me, somehow, of the movie "Ye Gods Must Be Crazy". I like the way you've written in such a lighthearted way about something so true. Thanks for the smile. :)

Ah yes, the evils of money.
Very nice poem about that green stuff we all can't get enough of.
Another classic example of Ettorney humor.
