Money Not Love

Went to Wal-Mart to buy a Christmas ham
All I could find was a giant traffic jam
Near the toys__decorations
By my calculations
Come day after Christmas, dumpsters see cram

"Went to Wal-Mart to buy a Christmas ham All I could find was a giant traffic jam!" I love that witty expression Sara! "Love or Money, that is the question!" Truth is, concept of mind dwells on money, while precept of heart dwells in Love, God's true wealth! "Congratulations Sara on a worthy poem's recognition. Agape, Moses 1
