Anthony Bianco Poet Rhyme

Money Can Buy Happiness

They say money can't buy happiness
, but it sure can patch that hole in the roof.
Or a fat neck ring or your dream dress
Or a tanker of gas -a new set of whitewalls
get you to a vision that you've never been to.
Tell me the truth, are you happy 
with that naked old maid's finger or that dated-frayed dress.

They say money can't buy love or happiness 
but it can buy a teaspoon of attention
a bit of bling to cover chronic loneliness.
Tell me the truth, are you happy being broke all the time
Debt hovering like a twitchy witchy blade
over a sweaty neck that's not worth a dime.
Money will buy your heat, pills, and A.C

With that being said:
Money can't buy sunshine or time
it may get you an airy oceanfront home
but someday that bipolar wind's going to blow
and money will never weave wings to the soul.
