It's Only Money
π·πΆππΈΒ£π°π²π΄π΅π·πΆ
Two Hundred And Eighty Thousand Dollars
What Would That Be In Good Old British Pounds?
The Policemen Would Be Feeling My Collar
If I Were Splashing That Moolah Around
Β£π°π²
I Already Have So Many Treasures
Memories And Friendships I Won't Let Go
These Always Give Me Enormous Pleasure
I'll Keep Them With Me Forever, I Know
Β£π°π²
I Would Help My Close Friends And Family
Give Some To Those Who Have Fallen In Need
I've All I Want, So Would Spread The Money
Put A Smile On Faces, Lovely To See
Β£π°π²
My Treasures Are A Conucopia
And They Will All Be With Me Forever

Mike, refreshing to know that people are valued more than things....love your entry
Brilliant work Mike! Love the altruism!!
I have no doubt that is exactly what you would do Mike. loved the poem, its subtle rhyme and the thoughtfulness of the words.
Awww, you're so kind Mike! Sending you lots of love and hugs β€οΈ
Love this!!!
Such a tribute to the true reality of life and what is important therein. Great work Mike. πππ»
Well said Mike, I wonder how I would really feel staring at the picture worth so much while the world burns. But riches change people, makes us selfish if the devil has his way. Great way to begin a journey. It really is only money...yet...
A great sentiment and shows the kind of person you are.
Well done, Mike! And money cannot buy happiness indeed. Although it is necessary!
This is lovely. Well done.
Money isn't everything but it helps when needed. Good way to introduce a challenge. Wish it was one of your unofficial ones. Good job.
What a clever challenge and a witty poem to go with it! Great job.
Generous entry. I've not heard of this challenge, I'll have to check it out
