Money: Does it grow on trees?

Money by Richard Armour

Workers earn it,
Spendthrifts burn it,
Bankers lend it,
Women spend it,
Forgers fake it,
Taxes take it,
Dying leave it,
Heirs receive it,
Thrifty save it,
Misers crave it,
Robbers seize it,
Rich increase it,
Gamblers lose it...
I could use it.

I thought these two poems on Money would be apropos following a post on Warren Buffett! And right after the photo with Bill Gates! Two guys who have bundles of it!

Little Lyric (of Great Importance)

I wish the rent
Was heaven sent. -by Langston Hughes
