Blessed with ninety-two dollars, not many reach such a sum
Spent the first
nine in shining armor against villains
Who lay in
wait on the dark playground.
Ten blown on a Marshall's tie
to appear less child-like.
But braces leave him
stuck in youth,
alone with
Clue Jr.
Next-
Bar Mitzvah.
Manhood gains one-hundred-fifty.
Electric guitar steals one-hundred gained
in
order to woo lovely high-school dames.
Tuxedo
for prom and one special girl's corsage
Takes the
cake with a whopping eighty-seven
Remaining thirty-six spent on senior pictures
and vodka
But even alcohol cannot make him forget the impending future
Two hundred forty-two dollars- did he spend the money
wisely?
The Hourglass(Original)
Blessed with
ninety-two dollars, not many reach such a sum
Spent the first
twelve on shining armor against villains
Who lay in wait on the dark
playground.
Six blown at the gentleman’s gym
In
time for college tuition.
Seven on solely textbooks
Four for pens
At office
Job.
Next
Wedding Wagon
Cost five greenies
Twins double that
expense.
Eight
on Little League practice.
Ten spent on expanding
their knowledge
Whopping twelve
left for severe back injury.
Eleven buys him golf and swanky country club,
Remaining seven cannot
pay for dying eyes- or heart.
A
whole ninety-two dollars-did he spend the money wisely?
