Don’t you die with money in the bank
Get  more  hard back books or dig up roads
Give a  beggar  what you’ve   left unspent

If your family’s full of knave sand cranks
Pay   for them  to live and learn abroad
Do not  die with money in the bank

Why not buy a waterproof small  tent
Camp on Dunwich  Heath with the wild birds
With what you earned but  you have never spent

Die in debt  and  don’t pay  any rent
Leave  your  children free to find the  Lord
You did not earn yet left a  curious dent

 

Ask for books that you ain’t never lent
Buy   new bedding, do not  clutch or hoard
Do not  die with money in the bank

I write  curious nonsense, does it bore?
Do not harm  your sullen  hidden core
Don’t you die with money in the bank
It’s  money  that you earned  so get it spent
