Money Can Buy Happiness

They say money can't buy happiness but it sure can patch that hole in the roof or rowboat. It can buy you a fat neck ring or your dream dress it can buy you 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 maiden's finger or that dated-frayed dress Are you happy only seeing your favorite dreamy place forever turning from your face in a Highrise magazine. They say money can't buy love or happiness but it can buy a teaspoon of attention or a bushel of silky pink ... 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 pills and A.C Money will buy your Heat and pills. With that being said: money can't buy sunshine or time it may get you an airy ocean front home but someday that bipolar wind's going to blow and money will never weave wings to the soul.
