This Will Not Rhyme [No Money]

Looking outside, see a fence,
needs some work,
but, no money.
See some giant trees,
about to fall on the house,
but, no money.
I have two kids,
I wish I could spoil,
but, no money.
Life wasn't always like this,
became a plumber,
made some good money,
living good for a few years.
Kitchen needs a makeover,
won't even mention the bills,
but, no money.
It doesn't seem to bother me,
love is all that matters,
love is free, doesn't require money.
I got my health and some piece of mind,
bi-polar pills, mostly work,
on disability, sit home all day.
Published a book for no money,
but to promote costs an arm and a leg,
I cant afford all that and why,
everybody now, but, no money.
that's why I post every couple of days,
self promotion, is all I can do,
I'm sure you'd all do the same.
Had a ton of friends, when a young stoner,
lost touch with most of them,
thank you very much Facebook.
Now I can talk to some old friends,
see what their up too,
even if we never chat,
very grateful to see you all again.
My family lives so far away,
I miss you all so very much,
I have fun commenting on your posts,
picking on each other is what we do best.
I do wish I had some kind of life,
less Facebook and more socializing,
but, no money.
Well that's all for now,
I thank and love you all,
as I start to tear up at the eye.
