Get Rich Quick

Financial Advisor Puppy

The radio financial guru advised the female caller

To find her passion, make it pay, and soon you’ll be a baller.

It spoke to me as I sat there in my office parking lot.

What we have is plenty, but the bank account is not.

Find your passion, huh? I pondered through the day.

What really gets me moving and carries my mind away?

Well, I’m in to funky jewelry, Facebook and gooey queso

I also like music, pedicures and funny game shows.

Puppies, football, fishing and Dr. Pepper over ice

I get a thrill from buying things at the very cheapest price.

I like crochet and baking pies – though I’m not good at either

Zumba’s cool, but it’s not long before I need a breather.

Playing forty two and dominoes are also pretty fun,

But nothing beats that feeling when the laundry’s finally done

Speaking of…clean sheet night surely ranks real high.

Good hair days, making lists, and buying school supplies.

And I wish they paid money to listen to old hymns

Or for West Texas sunsets ‘cause I’ve watched lots of them

Did ya ever see a wanted ad for a Super Baseball Fan?

Or ask about the details of cruising backroads health care plan?

Long walks on moonlit beaches really soothe my soul

Christmas Eve and Easter Morning will make my spirit whole.

Sleepy Saturday mornings and best friends that are true.

Date night buffets and crosswords and spending time with you.

My list of passions is extensive and lofty are my dreams
So I was reminded that money can’t buy these things

I’m surrounded by my loved ones, and thank the Lord, I am healthy

Simple abundance. Wrapped in love. What da ya know? I’M WEALTHY.
