Only Money Matters

Who’s that cow standing in the way

Moo-ove, Moo-ove

No, that’s a donkey,listen how he brays

Hee-haw, Hee-haw

I’m not the kinda person to be hurtling insults

"But that's a crazy monkey with a blabbering mouth"


Who’s that dog with the toothpaste grin

Bow-Wow, Bow-Wow

He gobbled up the chow and is starving to sin 

Gro-owl, howl, howl

Some creatures greedy, they'll suck your bones 'till it's dry

Just living in the Jungle is a fight to survive


Who’s that bird dancing in the streets

tweet - tweet, tweet –tweet

Someone stole our dinner leaving nothing to eat

Gro-oan, Mo-oan

If you slip, you'll slide, go straight down the hole

Life is just creation in a different world


Who's that CLOWN distracting everyone

Hell-Low Hell-Low

He's sniffing cocaine by the beach in the sun  

High High, Bye Bye

Some are born to shine that's what they say

Only money really matters at the end of the day, Can you pay...

First: love the animals. Second: where do I buy a tree/s like in your picture???? I wish people would put more love into people than they do money. Have wonderful weekend................

Money is not evil. It's we who envy those who have more who are in trouble. We grouse because Joe down the block has a new car. We are angry because we don't have enough money for plastic surgery? We are one ungratefeful lot. It's always our brother who is bad. We Pretend we don't need money? He's we do. We can't live on air, can we! Envy won't pay bills. Panagiota xx I am not God so I don't see His world as evil

Tremendous writing depicting the dark side of life which at the end becomes our most valuable teacher and helps us grow after having hit bottom! Arturo , my dearest friend, I know you will be back stronger and wiser!

I refuse to believe the money is all that matters at the end of the day, but I enjoyed your clever story and the animals that complain. We are just like them at times. Very nicely done, Arturo! Hugs, Carolyn
