currency

Ten cents for a grain of sand
But only one hundred dollars for the fill of a hand
This isn’t turning out the way you planned
You might just drop dead right where you stand.

A dollar for your thoughts, because a penny’s too small
A million for a storm, to drench them all
All the money in the world for a small brick wall
And a single nickel for a bathroom stall.

Just $7.99 for the plastic toys
Give them to all the girls and boys
Do you remember all of those recent joys?
Two grand for some earmuffs to block out the noise.

Ten cents for a grain of sand
But now two hundred to fill up your hand
You had a choice, you missed your chance
Now you’ll just drop dead right where you stand.
