NOTE::
I'm not sure if this has been done before, but let's have fun with it if not or if some are interested/re-interestd.

Topic:
The question that exposed the greed within each one of us when we were children: "What would you do if you had a million dollars"

So write a poem in..

Any fashion
Any style
Some Sillyness
And hidden denial

Here goes mine:

Had I a million dollars
I'd rent Wal-Mart for a day
Play tag with the neighborhood
Inside the giant box of toys

Or I could buy you, me, and him a car
And drive to a world unknown
Yeah, it's unrealistic, yes, I know
But what would you do with a million?

Because I would do a lot of things
Had I that much to spend
I could invest in rat-raced stocks
Or pay a hobo to sing a song

When time comes when it is true
I really wouldn't know what I really would do.

Yeah, base the poem on what you would do had you a million dollars biggrin.gif

Yeah... it appears that there are still a few glitches in the poem. I kept reading it and reading it at one point, I guess that made it sound good for the moment, rofl.

Ok heres mine

With a million dollars id have alot of fun
Id sit on the beach and soak up the sun
And everymorning I would take a run

Id go to a church and beat the crap out of a nun
When the police come id be sure to run
because being in jail sure wouldnt be fun

Inside the jail id be sure to sneak a gun
If I cant take any more it looks like im done
Put an end to my life with the shot of the gun

The poem is basically about how money can corrupt you if u dont use it wisely...actually none of it has to do with using money just going crazy tongue.gif

Rofl, not the best poem, but funny as hell. Beating a nun huh? That's horrible >_< rofl


Yeah, about mine, my friends and I were screwing around in wal-mart one day after we found out the place we were going to were having country night ( - _ - ). We sat at the outdoor furniture section for a good while, almost fell into a group nap. Then we played some weird form of tag where one of us might just disappear as we looked about the super-giant "grocery" store and the rest of us would try to find him... or disappear as well. So I thought "holy cow, had I a million dollars, I'd rent wal-mart for a day and invited the whole city to play tag" XD

First I would buy things
Then I would do something domb
And lose everything.
