Best Dollars Poems

Fifty-two dollars

Oh how I wish I had fifty-two dollars
to cover the cost of a four-dollar meal,
and pay for an outfit that’s much more in style,
on sale, half the price, is considered a steal

To gather a card for each holiday calling
and write out your name where...

Fresh silver dollars rain down from the sky
  Heaven-sent pieces of a monetary pie

Folks stuff their pockets with glee in their eyes ~
  Could a Merciful God deny them their worldly prize...

and the sweet things that money could buy.

I sent them a copy of
the letter they sent me

Bizarre?  It gets weirder.
Henceforth, my case manager
requested from them,
A copy of said...

Felt you next to me as we walked on the sand 
laughing. Floppy stylish hat covering your golden locks, green

$1.2 million

the british empire couldn’t do it
the soviet union couldn’t do it &
now the great big policeman of the world
is ready to finally

We fight for some god,
For any god we fight, 
For freedom and chance--
For the chance one dollar might--
Restore an entire nation; 
Explore a Novel nation;
Return a modern elephant--
And come back again as god.
Death is only afordable--
To those who can afford it;
Time is but adorable--

I've got fifty-three dollars and forty-nine cents
And I'm aiming on spending it all
I drove in my car
To this dive of a bar
And I'm planning on hearing "last call"

How much I''m in need of a drink
I came here to...

If I had a million dollars I would quit my job,
and be depressed and lonely, and unhappy and sad.
I would hear from every relative I have not heard from in sixteen years.
They would tell me all their sob stories, and want me to be their...

Passage of a law in 1873,
made gold the only recognized legal currency.
The aftermath would be economic stagnation.
It affected large portions of the nation.
As money, silver was no longer in demand.
Two members of Congress took matters in hand.
One was Missouri Senator Richard P. Bland.
The other was...

The last time, I looked at my checking account,
I saw a colossal bunch of zeroes, six figures,
With a zero in front of the other numbers;
I had zero interest credited to my account.
I started laughing, I started to count
The zeroes. I said to myself, let pretend
That...
