The Money Pot

Some people play* for money. My friends and I do not, But every time we play, we toss Five dollars in the pot. Our games are only once a month But still, the pile does grow So there’s enough to have a meal And see a Broadway show. That sounds like a solution Yet it’s not a simple task. Five different busy women – What’s the problem, you might ask. Because we must concur on Both a date and then a play, There’s never a consensus So each month we just delay. Our bankroll keeps increasing Though there is no guarantee That we’ll ever spend that money For we simply can’t agree! *mah jongg, a game played with tiles
