 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

The Money People.


Dedicated To Bethany And Hannah.

Billy Bob was coining it in,
Saving up to buy a car,
So he could take his girlfriend out,
And travel wide and far.

Now Polly Purse was very shrewd,
Had known Billy for a while,
It was in the shops they met,
She'd given him such a smile!

She'd had him in her purse all day,
When he cried: 'Please let me out!'
But Polly Purse didn't hear him,
So poor Billy had to shout.

'Oh dear,' she wailed at Billy,
'Forgive me please, I'm sorry!'
'It's ok,' he replied,
'You don't have to worry!'

So the wedding day drew nearer.
They'd soon be man and wife,
They'd make a vow together,
They'd be as one all their life.

One bright sunny morning,
On their wedding day,
Paul Pound was at the alter,
Giving Billy Bob away.

Mr and Mrs Fifty Pounds,
Were really very wealthy,
They'd brought their son up shrewdly.
And he was fit and healthy.

The time was getting closer,
Then Billy and Polly were wed,
'I will save up so very hard,'
This is what Billy Bob said!

Now Paul Pound was Billy's cousin,
He was his best man,
To stand there at the alter,
And do all that he can.

The 'parsnip' said the prayers,
And blessed the married 'pear,'
They were now, 'apple' and 'knife,'
All threw confetti in the air.

Polly filled her purse up,
With lots and lots of money,
She was so excited,
And linked arms with her 'honey.'

The shelves were getting empty,
The party was in full swing,
The money people came with food,
The party went with a zing!

After it was over,
Everyone said goodbye,
The money people went back to the till,
And the shelves were stocked up high.

As Billy Bob and Polly Purse,
Rode off in their car,
The sun went down, hid behind the clouds,
And was replaced by a shining star.

In the moonlight night,
They trundled down the road together,
Man and wife, the 'apple' and 'knife,'
Were a 'pear' forever and ever!

For Bethany And Hannah

Love Catherine
