A.E. Rivenbark Poet Rhyme

Penny Pincher

Penny Pincher, that incurable shrew
Wished life made more "cents"
And dollars grew on trees too
So she saves all her pence
And makes hoove stew
"If I can make something of nothing, why so can you!"
So she saved while I spent
And gave everything up for Lent
She asked me, "Are you not discontent?
Spare you not the Lord his rent!"
But I just laughed, "' Tis not my intent,
You see, money is heaven sent
and we can't bring the world to where Jesus went."

I dedicate this to all the extreme coupon folks out there. You can't take it with you.
