bank notes

Bank notes

We, the children in the street
roaming about in an empty house
came across bundles of banknotes
German marks from the first 
world war
I took a big bundle home
my mother
used them to light the fire in the morning
So, at last, the useless notes
got a good ending
Will the notes Elon Musk often 
display on X, end up as kindling
for the winter fire
