John Hardison Poet Narrative

My Money Tree

My Money Tree

I once had a money tree in my back yard but it died from being ‘picked on’ too much.

One time my money tree was being picked on by so many it had a ‘counter-fit’.

Shorty before my money tree died it was looking for love and found a DOLL-ER. (a person who makes dolls for a dollar).

Needless to say, my money tree fell in love with the DOLL-ER but could not make ‘cents’ of the ‘change’.

My money tree spent its entire life in the ‘sum’.

My lasting tribute to my money tree says a life ‘well spent’ 

For the only thing that goes faster than a dollar is life.
