You Can’t Take It With You When You Go
Uncle hoarded each coin like a tightwad,
counting in silence, dreaming of tomorrows.
Money saved, all joy withheld.
On his last day, breath shallow, he muttered,
You can’t take it with you when you go.
I have been a foolish man.
I nodded, pocketing his keys.
So spend it while you can, I said, walking out.
