Save your money for a rainy day
  Where I grew up, that was the way

As I aged, my days filled with sunshine
  My piggy bank, no longer my shrine...

drop a penny in the slot, drop it in the hole
”penny saved, penny earned” also “good for soul”
my first piggy bank
was tough like a tank
until a hammer withdrew the whole...

Good job to you, red piggy
I'll use you for good
My plan for you is big
For this Christmas.

Sorry, I'll butcher you now
I'll have to pay my loan debt
Anyway, I'll save you then after....

Man From Manhattan

There once was a man from Manhattan
Whose piggy bank his Dad did fatten
He had tiny hands 
For such a large man
But that never kept him from grabbing

Making Ends Meet 

He stretched a quarter into a dollar
Having an extra buck made her holler
He don the extra mile
Her piggy bank smiles
Cha-ching wails out as she grabs collar

Piggy please don't be sad.
I need the money really bad.
Got to pay my motor tax.
Get the government off my back.
You see I need to keep on track.
Bank will not give me a lend.
And I have no savings left to spend.
Now, close your eyes my little friend.
Knocking off your ceramic head....

Women’s rights?
     Men in tights  

   Rising crime?
     Hang wind-chimes

   Covid fears?
     Change careers

   Stocks falling?
     Piggy-bank calling

   Nothing to do?
     Learn Hindu

   Don’t have a car
     Play your guitar

   Overeating?
     Life is fleeting...

Working for peanuts,
Peta was sewing,
knowing her garments
would grace Princess Grace

Working, still smiling,
the dollars weren't piling
up in her piggy bank
down at the bank

Working for peanuts,
but she wasn't a monkey
Shame on the 'monkeys'
without shame on their face.

Happiness: it consist of small pieces
Beautiful, extraordinary moments
It's not general, it's not social
It's personal, it's contagious
It's what echoes to your soul
It can summoned at any moment
Like shaking your piggy bank
Checking every bit of it to enjoy
Pull something piercing bright
To alive a soul that's waiting....

I open up my piggy bank
I bust it open with a hammer
and as I take out the change I count out...

27-pennies

fourteen dollars in quarters

35-nickles

361-pennies

Twenty dollars in dimes

took it all the bank change totaled out to be...
thirty-nine dollars and sixty-three cents

those in charge hope,
plan for a cashless society
that they may more easily mold
their consumers variety

nations of debtors
card holders
vying and crying
for possessions

taxes and prices sliding
proportional to income
with no way out
then things fixed

the cashshelless society
no cash savings
no piggy bank
just card-dollar stores

what ! (excuse my language)...

Wise Words Never Heard

Girls without clothes go naked
Some of them have friends

Pennies in a piggy bank are not for sale
Robbers steal your frugality

Women can smoke under water
Men should fear them… Be very afraid

Most people like money
Those who don’t have none

Words of wisdom are easy to conjure
Easier said than done

Short lists are easy to read
Don’t read this one...

I spent so many cash
This year is too expensive
Hope I can keep this promise
A resolution next year
I'm a shopaholic tot
Spend cash anywhere
Bought much clothes and shoes
But I don't use them at most
I'll buy my piggy bank
Trying to save my bill
So I could use them 
When it's emergency
Can I make it now?
I don't even know
I'll probably spend time
Think about next year's
resolution...

Summer bank holidays
Candy floss and  Rides
Carousel horses
Fireworks in the sky

Beaches and sandcastles
Flying in balloons
Mother earth shining
For us all to go soon

Steam Trains Luggage
2p Falls and Rock
Kids just pile up with their piggy bank
You can even smash the lock

Times for cherishing
Put those photos in that book
Before the winter comes
The willows frozen by the brook

Turquoise chalice was terrified that she was not as curvy
As the fade- out banana who had a touch of scurvy
Clothes pin cousin laughed at the chalice's distress
Lightbulb filament rolled his eyes at this jealous mess
Screwdriver did not have anything much to say
Lockset said “I’ll come back another day”.
Cork found himself surrounded by disturbed items now.
He waddled off, looking for a piggy bank or a snowplow....

   My piggy bank gets fed,
   At least once a week.
   I do what my Momma said.

   I push the coins in the top of his head.
   
   Momma said, " You should feed your piggy every day!
                          So, you won't have to work and can play!"

   I think she doesn't see,
   What candy means to me!
   No fat piggy for me.

   Just a few coins to put away.
   So, when I get old,
   I can play all day!

I once had an idea
Thought completely off the wall
Replacing the piggy bank

I would have myself a jar
And instead of silver coins
I would deposit tokens

Coded different colours
For every conscious effort
A bright visual reward

An investment in my health
Or maybe more in kindness
Or just any goal I’d set

Couple years since my first thought
Brainchild still sounds rather good
Time is ripe to implement

He spent his nights drinking
Instead of 
Helping his children with their homework
Attending their sporting events
Driving them to school
And to their friend's houses
He spent his nights drinking
Staying out all night at a poker game
Where he gambled away all of the money in his pockets
He took money from his daughter's piggy bank
Leaving an I owe you note that he wouldn't pay back
Leaving all of the responsibility to 
The mother of his children
Because
He spent his nights drinking...
