“What?! You don't see it? It's right there!”
“But that ant, he just crossed 'ere nary a care!”
“Yes...not smart enough to do as told
or where not to go-
not enough brains to pay heed to invisible lines
drawn in 'Greed Green'-
the Crayola tint plebeians being most unaware
with not even a hint.”

“You can't burn dollars! You're breaking the law!”
“These pieces of paper fresh from press?
98% value gone with the gold;
why, I'm burning nothing- I couldn't care less!”
“You're insane! That's damn good money!”
“I'M insane? Federal Reserve Notes are hollow,
propped on YOUR faith-
THAT'S really funny!”

“Where is the border?”
“What?! You don't see it? It's right there!”
“But that ant, he just crossed 'ere nary a care!”
“Yes...not smart enough to do as told
or where not to go-
not enough brains to pay heed to invisible lines
drawn in 'Greed Green'-
the Crayola tint plebeians being most unaware
with not even a hint.”

“You can't burn dollars! You're breaking the law!”
“These pieces of paper fresh from press?
98% value gone with the gold;
why, I'm burning nothing- I couldn't care less!”
“You're insane! That's damn good money!”
“I'M insane? Federal Reserve Notes are hollow,
propped on YOUR faith-
THAT'S really funny!”
