Call me a tightwad - thrifty - a Scrooge
Parsimonious.  Frugal.  A miser
After this, no-one will be richer
But words might make us wiser...

 

Dough.  Bread.  Cabbage.  Lettuce.
Chips.  Gravy.  Bananas.  Beans
Potatoes.  Fish.  Milk.  Lolly.
If you have the biscuit - you have the means

 

Dosh.  Loot.  Wonga.  Readies
Nicker.  Coin.  Lucre.  Notes
Bones.  Tender.  Funds.  Swag
Guineas.  Florins.  Tanners.  Groats

 

Call heads or tails - send 'em spinning
Make them settle any bet
Start from scratch like poor Donald Trump
And you might just make a president yet

 

Copper.  Bronze.  Brass.  Tin.
Gold.  Silver.  Nugget.  Treasure
Shrapnel.  Pieces.  Nickels.  Dimes. 
A wad or a wedge might give you pleasure

 

Bit.  Boodle.  Bundle.  Brick
Plaster.  Paper.  Stash.
A pile or a pot is what you want
When it comes to ready cash

 

Rhino.  Hog.  Monkey.  Cow
Budgie.  Tiger.  Pony
Chicken feed is cheap indeed
And counterfeit is phony

 

Moolah.  Shekels.  Pesos.  Wampum
Motza.  Yennaps.  Zak
Dinero.  Ducats.  Doubloons.  Spondoolies
Lend it - I might pay you back

 

Century.  Ton.  Mint.  Bar. 
Quids.  Smackers.  Loonies
LSD.  A 'k'.  A 'g'.
A 'p'.  A 'c'.  And 'Toonies'

 

We've Bobs, Bucks, Bills and Joeys
Tony Benns and Aryton Sennas
Winston's proudly coming to our fivers;
Jane Austen will grace our tenners
 
"It makes the world go round," they say;
Alas I fear it's true
I've little money, but plenty of words
So this poem will have to do.
