My best friend whose name is Benny, His piggy bank is down to the last penny. Hopefully he won't try to become a martyr, But instead perhaps switch over to barter.
David: A few people are having the same problem. I reported it to Blogger ages ago. One of my followers discovered that he couldn't comment if he was using Mozilla Firefox but COULD comment using Internet Explorer. Now I'm a real pc numpty so I don't understand how that works (or doesn't work as the case may be!)

ReplyDeleteIs there a country with a strong monetary system? Great rhyme and I like that you used the symbols.
ReplyDeleteWhat you need is a change purse
ReplyDeleteto turn the change into dollars
I think we should be bold
ReplyDeleteAnd invest our cash in gold
The pound is falling
And the dollar is stalling
Very nice work, Ayak, especially find something to rhyme with ``lira''.
