Money
by David Jones

One pound, two pounds, three pounds four,
I like money and I want lots more.
Five pounds, six pounds, seven pounds eight,
I love money I think it's great!

I love money in any form,
Having lots of money should be the norm.
I like coins and I also love notes,
I've pocketfuls of cash in all my coats.

I've buried some in the garden under a tree,
Just one or two thousand or maybe three.
I've put some in the ceiling and in the wall,
And lots beneath the floorboards in the hall.

I like to count my money late at night,
Piles of cash is a beautiful sight.
I keep some in a bag and lots in a box,
Some in my shirts and more in my socks.

There's five thousand in the fridge,ten more with the pans,
Half a million in the larder stuffed into cans.
I've hid some in the attic where it's now gathering dust,
If it's dirty or clean well I'm really not fussed.

I won't give my money away I'll keep it to myself,
Money is for counting, and hoarding on the shelf.
But when I get older and my counting days end,
I may spend a bit of it and go and buy a friend.
