MONEY

Money, Money!
It makes life funny!
People think without it life can't run,
and when it's there you have fun.

Is this that life needs
money as much as breath,
and without it you'll suffer a painful death?
They act as if they'll die,
and even if they lose a rupee,

Money , Money!
It makes life sunny!
Different types of currencies are there,
for them we take the utmost care.

The poor people are considered too smal,
the rich ones are big ,brave and strong.
For shopping the rich always visit a mall,
the poor ones just see them running
around wondering what's wrong!

Money Money!
It makes life funny!
Now greed has overcome  all our needs,
no one now uses money   to do kind deeds .

Misers never use their money,
in a kind way or to
make their house sunny!
Affluent classes use it to waste ,
 thinking only of their taste!

Money, Money!
It makes life funny!

I believe that money should be there only for your needs,
adequate enough to feed your kids.

We should try to utilise it in the best possible way;
without becoming a Miser or a spendthirft, shopping all day!
