Not A Sonnet

by Sylvan Migdal

I want a shitload of money although
It’s fashionable to exhale things like
"Money won’t buy happiness"
But the cash is always greener on the other side
And I don’t see why all those unhappy rich
Bastards we’ve got floating around
Don’t give me their money if they don’t want it.
But it’s not gonna fucking happen:
Money is the root of all rich people
And I haven’t got shit.
