The Trouble With Money
73The trouble with money is, I don’t got none.
Wealthy people have everything and are quite tender when
Telling you that what they have you don’t really want or need.
Well maybe that’s so but I wouldn’t mind trying it on for size
But I am not so fond of greed.
Someone said it’s not a shame to be poor but it’s rather
An inconvenience.
Peculiar that when he said it he had wealth and fame
I call that mighty convenient.
Oh the wealthy have their problems too
But with their money
They have a doctor to pull them through.
Were it within my power
I would make everyone rich
But then we’d have to hire alien beings to cook our supper
And train dogs to dig our ditch.
Maybe some spooky goblins could I conjure up
To fill all the many mansions with curses
Of jokes sublime.
I’d get some spooks to haunt the hallways always
And some gremlins to taunt for all time.
That make for a happy day
To see dear Jeeves spill soup on the Lady
Or to have *Spike back over toes of Lord Grey and get in the bank just maybe.
A fellow can still have his dreams
And his troubles with solutions that money can’t buy.
But life would be so much easier
Was I born rich instead of this poor guy.

*Spike was one of the little wicked gremlins in the movie Gremlins

ralwus, if you were rich you'd be a whole different person and that would be too bad. you are rich in what counts.
Hi Delores, yeah, mebbe yer right there. thanks hun.
I've been sometimes rich and sometimes poor, and I always have good times both ways. Someone said that is not richer he, who has more, but he who has extra money to espend.
That's a good way to look at it. thanks Xtasis
i have to agree with you. Yes wealthy people have problems, sickness and stuff. But when you have the money to pay for the doctors it eases your life up. Lots of our problems can be solved with a money. Hunger for example. Money just makes it a little easier :D
