This Machine Takes No Dollar Bills
by Bruce W Niedt
This machine takes no dollar bills.
I dont care how thirsty you are!
You dont believe me?
Go ahead, put a dollar in my slot.
Ill spit it back, green tongue wagging.
Doesnt matter which one you try
.
Cmon, dont insult me!
How many times has that one
been through the wash?
Poor George is so faded
he looks like hes been through
the Revolution, and every war since.
And that one please!
Its so folded and dog-eared
next time you want to make origami,
use plain white paper!
That crisp new one?
Its so clean and slick
that I cant even feel it.
Crumple it, step on it.,
sleep on it a few nights
then get back to me.
Im tired of this game
guess Ill turn on my
exact change only sign.
Tough luck, friend.
You still want a soda?
Go get some coins. 04/13/2003 Posted on 04/13/2003
