MONEY TALKS

A Big Round Dollar
And a Little Red Cent
Rolling along
Together went
Rolling along
On the smooth sidewalk.
When the dollar remarked
Cor dollars do TALK
"You poor little runt!
You cheap little mite!
I'm bigger than you
And twice as bright.
'I'm worth more than you
A hundred fold;
And written on me,
In letters bold,
Are the words
OF a pious creed:
In God We Trust
Which all may read"

"I'm a cheap little mite.
I know I'm not good,
Nor big, nor bright,
And yet" said the cent,
With a meek little sigh,
You don't go to church
AS often as II"
