Fun With Money

Rating: 5.0


'From what is required of scissors
to mine small diamonds from cardboard,
our basic currency unit will be the snip;
100 carats will make up a snip',
a new state decrees.

With no choice,
everybody agrees.

But soon:
a snip becomes a diamond -
20 snips, a pink one;
a carat becomes a cut -
50 carats, a rutabaga, a swede.
There is no limit to the fun.
