I'll tell you a plan for gaining wealth,
Better than banking, trade or leases —
Take a bank note and fold it up,
And then you will find your money in creases!
This wonderful plan, without danger or loss,
Keeps your cash in your hands, where nothing can trouble it;
And every time that you fold it across,
'Tis as plain as the light of the day that you double it!

haha, good ole Poe... he certainly was one to make light of money...
humourous and delightfull... -
haha that was great I loved the "'Tis as plain as the light of the day that you double it!" But I didn't notice the "increases" thing until someone pointed it out to me. Maybe if I read it outloud..... xxx

This is a great show of wordplay, indeed. I only wish that people who rhymed would take an example from Poe. There is much more to it then rhyming the end word of every line. (grr).

Much respect to you always..

This is a brilliant example of word-play! From "increases" to "in creases", and so on. It was the first time I've read this and perhaps the first time I've seen such humor from Poe. What can I say...he was a master! Elaina
