Money makes the world go round but can also make it stop
Having none or little means I can hardly do a lot!
Adapting to a budget forces one to do things another way,
Which can have a very negative impact on a normal routine day.
A cheaper bus which makes me late starts the week badly
And lack of funds confines me to nights of French t.v.
But what do they say, is it "the best things in life are free"?
So I borrowed the second season of Grey's Anatomy.
This resscued me from TF1 or M6 or Canal Plus,
Or TMC and ARTE for which I have no use!
But watching DVDs when Nice is right outside
Is such a crying shame and a real waste of time.
So Thursday night I went out and splashed out on a coke
I stayed out economically using just a 5 euro note!
Friday was even cheaper I didn't even spend a cent,
Perhpas it's for this that the clichéd term is meant!
Both nights were spent with friends, both nights were real good fun,
I barely spent a penny and didn' steal from anyone.
Saturday I went mental and went to Monaco
I guess if you wanted to save money it's where you wouldn't plan to go!
But I can't be a tight arse forever, my buttocks would get sore,
Besides it's only 4 euros 80 for what the french call an "aller retour"
So Monaco on a budget meant walking lots and lots
The place has a charming beauty and plenty of tourist spots
The Grand Prix circuit's Spelugue bends or the casino in the town
Japanes tourists filmed so much they wore their camera batteries down!
Bentleys are ten a penny, Skodas and Ladas are not
You're classed as poor if you don't own a million dollar yacht.
But money isn't everything, it's not guaranteed to make me smile,
Unlike speaking to good friends I haven't heard from in a while
I can already hear you saying, "Fraser has turned soft"
Go on, go ahead, laugh and joke and scoff
But have you ever had a phone call or a letter in your postbox
When you're constantly afraid of being the lad your friends forgot?
Now i'm being quite dramatic, perhaps I should tone it down,
Being i'm mistaken for a gay and the "sisters" come around!
But anyway i'm babbling and time is getting on,
Perhpas it's about time that I end this one,
I'll leave you with some good news, my money's just come through
Out the red and in the black, and i've now got so much to do.
First things first- a haircut and maybe some new threads
But I need to find a good "Coiffeuse" since here the mullet's not quite dead!

1000 characters is my alotted response,
Facebook is stingy fucking ponce.
My comment is now below, quite badly done. However replying I must say was a fair bit of fun.
Good Evening dear Frase,
your blog I've just read,
nearly forgotton, but now I know your not dead.
Now rhyming ain't my style, never my thing,
just wanted to respond with some literary bling.
You may have seen on facebook a post,
a photo or two from the east spanish coast.
Barcelona was top, a real great city,
however your absence is always a pity.
Clubs a plenty for us to explore,
late nights a standard, always crying for more.
The med way of life, what a desirable place,
the colour your predicted has covered my face.
The beach, the bars, architecture too,
only a fool would not be jealous of you.
This game is really difficult to play for so long,
I can't relay much for fear of getting it wrong.
Warehouse next week, not far away,
envious green are you? I dare say!
I will see you soon dear friend as holidays are looming,
stay a night or two in Boughton maybe?
I really don't mind spooning.
Last line or two now, I won’t make you stay,
Shaking your head, I bet, at this little word play.
Least you forget dear Frase, I will always compete,
Trying too hard now, ok, you got me beat.
