I just want five hundred grand Is that too much for me to ask? It is a lot. Probably too much. But I am prepared for the task Of spending that much dough. I have it completely planned out. I know where every dollar goes. It’s all over but the last shout. Right away, I want a house And a decent one here on Kauai. I also want a brand new truck For my husband to drive and try. I also have a few trips to plan Like floating down the Rhine And then up by train to Denali That would suit us both just fine. That ought to do it, I believe; A secure home all paid for And decent new cars for us And a world out there to explore. That should spend that money And have a bit of change left over. Satisfying the homebody I am And the man I married is a rover. I am very willing to write a book And have it sell a million copies. I have several started and am sure They would each be a hit in shoppes. There can be about eight books Carefully edited by me, for sure Those alone should make my rep. That would be my poverty cure.
