Stone Money 1500th Poem

Some Pacific islanders are all alone. For money, they use big heavy pieces of stone. The island of Yap is where they conduct this trade. To live here, I would be a bit afraid. It seems only the strongest people would be rich. Hauling those monetary units would be a *****. I hope I never land here if I am cast adrift. If I do, where can I rent a forklift?
