David William Breidenthal Poet Free verse

Dough

((Haha I hope this one makes you bubbly or laugh inside!))

I collect dough…so
What? Got a problem, stranger? 
I have a life, sir!!
Collecting cool bucks;
Teach me to value wisdom –
Money ain’t priceless!
I’m not homeless, ma’am
I just need money to live
We’re all required
To have dough and shtuff
Stay optimistic and proud 
I know…I know! Life can get tough!
But, let’s laugh out loud!
Hey! Freedom to have dough!
Just ’cause you have freedom of speech,
Doesn’t mean you insult me so– 
Excuse me? Practice what you preach! 
I’m baking cookies
But, I don’t have enough dough 
To buy pricey dough!
I'm young and poor and I'm proud of it...
But I do need money...just a bit!
