MONOPOLY MONOTONY

by Charles Frederickson


Monos = one Polein = to sell
        Lazy unfair as loaded dice
                Supply & demand virtual unreal estate
                        Fake moola GOing for broke

                        250 million gamesters hooked worldwide
                27 trance-elations languages including Braille
        Goal financial solvency while forcing
Opponents into bankruptcy assets lost

Little greenhouses red do drop-inns
        Railroaded to part with utilities
                Placing hope in Community Chest
                        Last Chance sub-prime mortgage foreclosed

                        Wall Street Boardwalk tumbling down
                Tarnishing In Gold Wet Rust
        Infestment broker blamed for indebtedness
Get out of jail Free
