Cash
It’s king
Makes tills ring
But here’s the thing
What we call a till
I suspect, always will
According to my sister
(which, in slang is skin and blister)
In the U.S. is a register
But when tills (or registers) are ringing
Which explains why shopkeepers are singing
I watch, nonchalantly debating
It’s what I do while I’m waiting
How many words mean ‘money’
Well, pony and monkey
May be quite funky
But dough and bread
In my head
Still mean
Cash
~ What Papa Taught Me ~
Save, don't spend
The good times will end
Extravagance, for fools
Frugality rules
A penny saved
A penny earned
A dollar wasted
Independence spurned...
Inflation, deflation
Whatever the situation
Cash is King
Credit ~ bling
Buy and sell
Cast odd spell
Goods now churn
A kind turn
Lots to please
In fine ease
Tease and toss
Bear with loss
Earn your keep
Smile and weep
Deep dream daze
Craft fine craze
Odds and ends
Bleed your blend
Gain not vain
Stake most plain
Quest for more
Fill your stores
On the way
Live fine play
Cash is king
Watch time fling

Money can come between the best of friends.
It is known to dissolve the strongest bond,
and corrupt you to the grave and beyond.
When it comes to dividing dividends,
a trust, built on a longtime friendship, ends:
and animosity and lies get spawned.
There's no denying jealousy and greed:
for we all acknowledge that cash is king;
and thus is valued above everything.
And if you owe, it is useless to plead,
for like Shylock's pound of flesh, once agreed:
repayment is an imperative thing.
If you want more proof of this ugly truth:
merely, look around; it doesn't take a sleuth.

Keep Hope In Jesus Alive
Fast food & the celebration of guns
The wandering wizard with the king & queens who run
Who sets the bar on society's perfect standard
Tragedy amidst the biggest calamity
We fall but soon we arise to get up
With all the hate news today just makes me want to throw up
Search your heart along with your soul
This is not some good time Charlie with the heavy rock & roll
Keep hope in Jesus alive don't run away & hide
The casualties are enormous for a stated cause that's atrocious
Send the troops home no reason for them to roam
With riots having blood shed in our streets
Bus driver please lend me an ear
The faithful children are getting lost let me make this clear
Shattered dreams plotting evil schemes in the land of mean
Yet sitting back and doing nothing is not the option
Put on the whole armor of Christ that you will be able to stand
Learn to listen to the small still voice from the masters hand
Don't fall back into the sea of desolation in a sullen visitation
The land where cash is king let your freedom bell ring

Evening cascades
Journey homewards;
Work hiatus
~~~~~~~~~
Spring hurls
Fragrant blossoms;
Festive mood
~~~~~~~~~
Tender saplings
Sky bound yearnings;
Sun mesmerising
~~~~~~~~~
Joy sparkles
Spring melodies;
Buzz of freshness
~~~~~~~~~
Long bank queue
Urgent transactions;
Cash is king
~~~~~~~~~
Overseas studies
Payments to make;
Vested future
~~~~~~~~~
Waiting an hour
Long queue dwindles;
Our turn now
~~~~~~~~~
Paperwork signed
Fund transfer instructions;
Australian university
~~~~~~~~~
Hectic activity
So much to do;
Moving all afternoon
~~~~~~~~~
Lunar new year
Fortune incoming;
Brisk preparations
~~~~~~~~~
Auspicious airs
Prevailing certainty;
Better days ahead
~~~~~~~~~

Please note right now
Times are hard
We must cut costs
We must work hard
To do well
Work smart and more
No more tea breaks
Work more smart
Take a pay cut
We must not waste
Cash is king
Time to work late
Treat our clients well
Smile and wave
Set our goal right
Do a good job
Multi-task
One man for three
And if we must
Bonus cut
Part of the plan
We walk the talk
Keep at it
Thank you so much
