Workers earn it,
spendthrifts burn it,
bankers lend it,
women spend it,
forgers fake it,
taxes take it,
dying leaves it,
heirs receive it,
thrifty save it,
misers crave it,
robbers seize it,
rich increase it,
gamblers lose it . . .
I could use it.
Richard Armour's clever verse traces money through many hands and purposes, ending with the speaker wishing he could use it.
