Budget

Can't we just fudge it? I don't see a reason to budget. I count each penny, It all goes away! Momma goes to the money tree. I know its outside. But how she gets it is beyond me. I've searched and searched, In the tulip bed. Even trees that are taller than me! Once a week Momma comes in, Gives me an allowance I can spend. Later that day, I smile sweet as honey. Can I have a bit more money? Just an advance, To carry me over to next week. Momma says, " I know I gave you an allowance today. What did you spend it on anyway?" Well, the candy store was open, I cannot tell a lie. The book I bought, Gives me lots of thought. My friend and I went for burgers, Or three. Now I have nothing left, For me. Momma said, "You have an allowance, Please make it last! Budget your pennies, Or go without any!
