Words To the Wise From a Depression Era Grandmother
Always look down –
You might find something - maybe even money
Never a borrower nor lender be-
You might not get something back that is dear to you
Or it could come back with dents
Always have a little side money in a bunghole
What’s a bunghole you ask – look it up!
Keep a dried ham hock bone on your key chain
This will bring you money
If the government is offering you butter and cheese
Be sure to take it
The Meals on Wheels’ meatloaf is quite delicious
Make friends with your postman and your bank teller
Blood is thicker than water
Things always happen in threes
And you can make a great fuzzy navel with Tang
You don’t need some outrageously expensive orange juice!
