    The God Almighty Dollar

     Once when I was very young
    I was given a dollar
    I spent it all on candy
    And then began to holler

    Momma tried to calm me
    Kissing me,Hugging me
    Leaving her warm scent on my collar
    But I didn't want this
    I wanted that God Almighty dollar

    Now I'm older and I work hard for my money
    I crave money dearly Like a bee does honey

    But I can't keep it
    So the bill collectors say
    And they throw a big fit
    If I don't send it their way

    If I don't give in
    They begin to holler
    And I still end up without
    That God Almighty dollar

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
