It's All About The Money
Money's a medium of exchange frequently used in manners strange
Blood money comes as cost of life: killing for wealth with gun or knife
Conscience money relieves great shame by restoring ill-gotten gain
Even money odds are equal; winning begs for one more sequel
Front money is future promise; no appeal to Doubting Thomas
Funny money is counterfeit; worth less than a six-penny bit
Hot money for high short-term rate to get rich quick and never wait
Mad money for an urgent use; a sure way out for an excuse
Near money assets converted to cash where crash is diverted
Pin money for incidentals; pocket change for the trivials
Prize money given as reward for winning triumphs you have scored
Seed money for new enterprise hoping success you'll realize
Smart money of speculators often found with inside traders
Token money not intrinsic leading to debates forensic
Money is an ever changing figure on a page arranging
