HOW I SAVE MONEY
By
Gregory K.
My parents always tell me “Saving money is the key!”
So I’ve figured out a lot of ways that saving works for me.
Today, in fact, I saved a dollar eight from being sad --
I used it for some candy, and I know that made it glad.
Last week, I saw some quarters in a fountain at the mall…
So I saved them all from drowning (then they bought a basketball).
My allowance funds get lonely, but I save them if I spend ‘em,
And I get them into registers where lots of bills befriend ‘em.
And just the other day I bought … well… I don’t know what you call it,
But I saved two twenty dollar bills from rotting in dad’s wallet.
I know a lot of other tricks, but I don’t want to bore you…
Instead just send me all your cash. I’ll gladly save it for you!
Happy final Poetry Friday of National Poetry Month. Go check out the collected links nicely gathered up over on A Wrung Sponge.
(I'm posting an original poem-a-day through April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and there are lots of others, because poetry is NOT just for April) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".)

Fantastic!
Very clever. Glad to have run into your blog this month! -- B.F.
You are so kind to money.
Bravo! Don't make us wait until next April. Keep them coming, please!
You are right, Lisa. I'm very kind. In fact, tell all the money you know just how kind I am....
And thanks, two anonymous people!
Oh, and piksea... there'll be other poems all year, just not daily!
