more or less
by Mary Frances Spencerbillions at stake
many houses empty
few solutions
one has 14
another none
nursery rhymes can’t collect
200 dollars
jail another option
greed has gotten nowhere
thumbs sticky with pie
cling to the old
rollercoaster
so a few shiny
coins may fall
silver lined
survival
around we go
paper money rolling dice
this is no time
for monopoly
