A Sad Story

"Parsimonious" sounds a bit better than
"Cheapskate." Either way, that's what
He was. The guy wouldn't give up
A penny for anything, so, when he died,
He had built up a fortune. Too bad that
His kids, who had done without everything,
Blew through it in a few years.

A windfall is so easily blown but hard earned cash is the binding that keeps us solvent (Just about).

Another fine piece from you, thanks for sharing.
