A Solemn Vow

Open the box; take the money out now
Leave it alone, and swear a solemn vow
Not to touch it until you've grown old
   ~ In retirement you'll have a cash cow

What...I can't put in in the mattress anymore? Good one, Gershon.

Ha, ha. If you put the money under the mattress, then you won't have a 'cash cow.' You'll only have an emaciated calf, as the money won't have had the opportunity to grow...Then again, at least you'll have your principal, presuming no fires or other such calamities. :) gw

Interesting form, Gershon. You did it justice.
