Sonnet #394

 For just a bit of fun, the arts are fine

But money can make anything rhyme

Pull enough money together, orangutans will

Rhyme with hippos, for their zygotes merge

Where money sews them up, and says be still

For the pictures for the movie for the sinful urge

Put enough money in a room and all the worst

Of us will storm the gates to do their worst

To grind each other if they must into wurst

To devour each other alive over money, bellies burst

To drink the money, chew and swallow, fatten 

Like a pate goose until the next one comes behind

To cut the money loose, until the money flattens

In the weight of death and becomes a memorial pictorial sign
