Money Talks
by Roger Crique (Age: 51)
copyright 09-20-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

  Money Talks
Picture Credits:

And they shall hide from you
When you need them most
They will leave your side
For those are your friends

They will want to step on you
Make a mockery of you
Test you in your word
For they know you’re vulnerable

And when you think you have them figured out
You realize you don’t know them
For those are your friends
Lest you think they’re your enemies

And when it is all said and done
And you’re crawling in the mire
They will get on their knees
To say, “I told you so!”

A friend is a dollar bill
Aging in your inside pocket
Share it if you must
But remember this
You and only you are the keeper of your own skin!

"A friend who is with us only for our money is not a friend at all" - David Pekrul
Hey, this could become a famous saying! lol
Loved the poem, but the picture is bad. If you like, I could send you a link with some pictures of pretty, colourful Canadian money. lol

As Shakespeare says, "Neither a borrower or a lender be."

I am just now learning what a real friend is all about and I still have no clue. There are so many rules and p's and q's and do's and don'ts and just when you got it down, you know it, it changes but you are right when I have money in my pocket it seems to them I can do no wrong. Hmm

Unfortunately there is a deal of truth in this.
I have found over the years that one can trust people with ones life, but in most cases, not ones money.
As Anthony said, a true friend should be cherished.
In the third stanza I think you have missed the D off figured.

I don't have this Figured out. The title and poem seem unlinked. You do make one reference to money, but I don't see that "Money Talks." I do think that, many you believe are your friends, are only there for their interests and would leave for a chance at money. True friends are rare! Cherish any you may have and hope what they are doing is not just an act! Thanks, Anthony

Truth in verse, clever play on thought and words, biblical in nature, street in view, liked the image, nicely done. Walt
