This one reminded me of an Irish blessing, which got me thinking how many different ways there are to grow rich. And that led me to the actual thought of growing something, which led me to my little sonnet below. It’s practically a jingle, isn’t it?

Enjoy!

May you grow rich.

An Ad for a Money Tree
By Michelle Garren-Flye

But why don’t you have a money tree yet?
They’re growing on every corner street
and they couldn’t be easier to get.
It’s an investment whose price can’t be beat!

Perhaps you worry your tree will not yield
enough harvest—true, there’s no guarantee…
But just plant it and see if you can’t build
trust enough for a great, prosperous tree.

Soil, water, and dreams are all it will require
to grow tall and strong with many green leaves.
In its shade you’ll soon find rest when you tire;
all of your worry and care it relieves.

With a money tree, there’s never a hitch
It is simply the best way to grow rich.
