Proverbs and a Poem Proverbs are wise sayings. Here are some proverbs about money. A day late and a dollar short. Buy now, pay later. Filthy rich. Go for gold. Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves. Money doesn't grow on trees. Money talks. More money than sense. Penny wise, pound foolish. Put your money where your mouth is. Raking in the money.    Show me the money. Take the money and run. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.. The pound in your pocket. There's gold in them thar hills. Throw your money around. Time is money. Value for money. You pay your money and take your choice. Your money or your life.   "It's Inside my Sister's Lunch" by Kalli Dakos (Permission to include this poem given by the author of If You're Not Here, Please Raise Your Hand)   TEACHER: Isn't the book money Due today? James, Anita Joe, Fay? JAMES: I left my money On the bus, When the patrols yelled at us to rush. ANITA: I have my money stowed away In the jacket I wore yesterday. JOE: My dad forgot To give me mine; He forgets things all the time. FAY: My money's lost, But I have a hunch, It's inside my sister's lunch. TEACHER: Who brought their book money Back today? Erica, Doug, Rick, May? ERICA: Book money? What's it for? You never told me this before. DOUG: I loaned my money To my friend Tom, Then he gave it to his brother, John. RICK: I've been sick With a ghastly flu, I forgot the money was even due. MAY: I remembered, But then I forgot To take it from our money pot. TEACHER: Did anyone remember Their money today? Mary, Gerald, Susan, Ray? MARY: Didn't I bring it Yesterday? Haven't I already paid? GERALD: My money is Up our climbing tree, I left it there when I skinned my knee. SUSAN: I used my money For lunch today, It was the only way to pay. RAY: My money's In my underwear drawer, I'll remember to bring it tomorrow. TEACHER: No one remembered His money today? Tim, Kathy, Jeffrey, Kay? TIM: Here's my money in my sock! ALL: The teacher passed out from the shock. Go back to top
