If I had the money I would love to share it with people everyday

Or buy a collection of sign things

But sadly I would have to give it to Sallie Mae

For they call me everyday

They give little leave way

You might say it won’t take all of it

But truly I’ll say I had to learn the hard way

That Two private schools was the wrong way

Yikes, it may seems like a lot for the average

But it’s very little to the rich and the ones who collect a lot of debt before they are established

So, I’ll say buy a sign poem with it

Or whatever brings joy and brings you out a deficit

lol 😂 laughing to keep from crying
