Have a Nickle.


If you had a nickel

for everytime 

I cared,

you would be rich.

Richer than a millionaire.

 

So let me be that man

who hands you the coin

everytime I entertain you

or annoy.

 

The world would be richer 

I would be silver and glad

that my heart is not covered.

Not plaid.

 

I just hope your taking hand

connects to a giving heart.

Maybe green nations will rise,

and then you've done your part.

 

Give me that title.

Give me that job.

The world will be better

when I'm not a snob.
