The With And Without Of Money Poem by Frank Adie

The With And Without Of Money



With money,
You can do such and such;
Without money,
You can't do as much.

With Money,
You can relish the delicacies of distant lands;
Without money,
You feed on junks like pigs.

With money,
You can adorn yourself with the rarest fineries;
Without money,
You cover your back with rags.

With money,
You can live in a castle;
Without money;
In a hole you will nestle.

With money;
You can drink from golden chalices,
Without money;
You can gulp from nasty dishes.

With money,
Your can breathe;
Without money,
You can also breathe.

With money,
You will age;
Without money,
You will also age.

With money,
You will die;
Without money,
You will also die.

Whether you are buried-
In a casket made of gold or sandalwood,
It really doesn't matter,
It is all vanity of vanities, says the preacher.

interesting approach: Such rhymes with much, chalices and dishes is as good as a rhyme, so is castle and nestle, but if you can't find a rhyme for lands put in pigs (or vice versa) , for fineries put in rags, and for sandalwood put in preacher. I like it
