Tom Bell Poet Burlesque

Bag O' Money

When in my old home,
Land speculators and
real estate companies
knocked on my door
every day
Mostly Israelies or
Russian Jews,
They always had a lot to say

There were various attempts
to bribe me
Some quite inventive,
as you'll see

One of those, an agent
showed up with a shopping
bag full of cash!!
It's a miracle that I
didn't take it and to 
the bank dash!

Now, to a guy down
on his luck
This temptation was
hard to duck

But I somehow did
Too this day I wonder
where he learned
such a trick
An Israeli intelligence
schtick?

They tried booze, women
and so much more,
Until I learned not
to answer the door
