Thoughts, Memories and Dreams From Long Ago - A Poem Collection.

Scrooge

Penny by penny is how you succeed

You count every coin, only spend what you need

Never give away, never give up

You can't help the world, but you can wish them luck

Penny by penny

I built an empire

I came from a rathole

I came from the shire

And now when folks see me, the all call me sire

They wish me good health!

For my wealth they desire!

Penny by penny

I built castle walls

I bought my own robes, my own dragons, and wolves

Penny by penny,

That's how you survive

That's how you turn rich

And bless your own life

---

Penny by penny

I built my own cage

A prison of money

I won't ever escape

Penny by penny

I met my demise

I bought my own place

In the afterlife

No golden, tall gates

Will wait for me there

Only suffering, and penance,

And useless regret

Penny, by penny

I destroyed myself

All the coins in this world

Won't be able to help

My wealth is of no use when

My health is not well

I wish I had tossed them all in the well

I wish I had used them, to make something good

To help all the needy and misunderstood,

But now it is late, to undo what I've done

Penny by penny

I lost everyone

I lost all the chances to be a good man

If god can't forsake me

Tell me how I can?

Penny by penny...

This ending is mine

I bought it myself

When I wasted my life
