I work five days a week for government,
For one reason only: to get money
(Although a third is withheld for payment
Of income tax and so on, naturally).
So I pay them and they also pay me,
And then with my two-thirds, I buy the things
I need or want, and also frequently
Waste it, or fall victim to various stings.
And so the money merry-go-round brings
Us in a circle each month, having sent
Us off loaded, returning us lightly
With one coin left to which our finger clings.
But let’s enjoy the ride, for we are meant
To have fun rather than always worry.
