The ‘-Ology’ Of Cash
An ‘-ology’ is just a way
Of talking ’bout a field
Like Psych, or Soc, or Crim, or Zoo,
A ‘study’ – facts to yield.I figure what is needed now
Is ‘Cash’ to study close;
‘Cash-ology’ would suit me fine –
How save and spend the most.Of course, some cash I’d need to have
My study to devise;
Perhaps they’ll give a grant for me
To use and make me wise.‘But isn’t ‘Economics” what
They call such studies now?’
‘No, that’s not study of the milk –
More color of the cow’.I’m thinking more of life down here
Beneath the clouds sublime;
Where you and I eke out our lives
On swill and bilge, in grime.You see, I’m not the upper class
Not even mid-range, see,
But lower than the lower class
‘The Poor’, they label me.I figure I’m best suited for
This study for us all
Since I’m not biased by the threat
Of failure great or small.And if I win, my findings will
Be published, peer-reviewed –
By others out here in the slums
Whose studies cash have used.Who knows, if upper folks reject
And cross-checks then insist,
Us poor-folks could for decades live –
What better life than this?navigation
