Don'T Flash Your Cash

You like to show off those twenty one hundred dollar bills in your wallet.
You believe that it will impress people but insanity is what I call it.
After seeing your money, someone may clobber you and take it.
When you get an urge to flash your cash, please forsake it.

I wish that you would stop showing off the money that you've got.
You think it's worth the risk of being injured and robbed but it's not.
Please listen to what I've been saying and one day you may even say thanks.
Instead of keeping that amount of cash in your wallet, you should put it in a bank.

(This is based on a true story.)

I have given that advice to several guys I have known over the years. But they refused to listen. I will never understand what goes through a persons mind that is like that. I hope your freind listened to you.
