Money Is Both Something and Nothing
Money is both Something and Nothing:
Something when it’s A Rescuer
And it’s goddamned far away
Nothing when its can’t do A Thing
While in one’s hands not fewer
But it’s clear you’ll be blown away!
Money is both Something and Nothing:
Something when filled is your sewer
And it alone offering a ray,
Nothing when its sound is Poor Ring,
No longer fetching The Newer
And you may it burn on ash tray.
In the morn, Money boy’s Big Thing
And before darkness Plain Nothing;
Away could fly with Parting Wings
And leave you with Angry Hand Swings.
