What would you do for “extreme” money?

There once was a lady named Flo

Who was always on the go!

For a job with more money

Attracted her like bees to the honey.

That soon she found a job with more money

And you’d think her life would be sunny

For she moved her husband and kid

Half way “cross the Country; (yes, she did!)

But, Flo abandoned family and friend

For she was after more money to spend.

Her god had become the almighty dollar

No matter how loud her family did holler!

My the years did fly by

And money seemed to fall from the sky

For this lucky lady named, Flo

But was she happy, oh no.

A high class job on the East Coast

And Flo took it so she could boast

Of prestige…success….more money

Forsaking her kid and her Honey.

Flo is without friend or family by now.

The crave for money has consumed her and how!

I”ve heard there’s a prime paying job on the moon…

Good-bye Foolish Flo, hope we hear from you soon!
