Day 7: Money

Today's prompt was money, and that, combined with the chocolate gluttony of Easter, led to this little poem. - Katie


***

Money was easier when I was young
It was made of chocolate
And came wrapped in golden foil
And it was pretty tasty

Now I'm older
Money isn't so appetising
Figuratively, it leaves a bitterness in my mouth
Literally, it tastes of pennies

It has more uses now, I suppose
Chocolate money is really only good for eating
Or melting, next to radiators or on sunlit windowsills
But now it comes at a higher price

So I think I'd like to go back
To the days of chocolate money
I couldn't buy as many things
But it would be so much sweeter
