“Today, Tomorrow, and Always”

Oh, how unlucky is for thee,

I wish I had a money tree.

Medical bills will soon pile high;

I wish dollar coins would fall from the sky.

One bill after another comes flying in;

I’d just dug out from ast ones – guess I can’t win.

I catch those pesky bills that always kick my butt.

Hey, wait! I need to feed my hundred-pound mutt!

The wallet is empty. Not even dust.

Yet everyone wants money, as it’s a must.

Money burns a hole right through my drawers;

I have no water or rugs on my floor.

I’m so cold; my furnace is out; I have icicles on my nose.

My water pipes are white with frost — most likely frozen.

Cooking’s impossible–the power’s shut off.

I’m suffering with this nasty, irritating cough.

Doc won’t see me. I have no money;

I act like a bitch, now, isn’t that funny?

Can’t get medical help any which way.

They turned me down, no cash, said “Go away.”

This is the truth; it happened today.

Times are getting worse day by day.

Oh, how unlucky it is to be me–

I wish I had a huge money tree.
