I Tried to Avoid The Money Economy

Ray Bub

But I couldn’t.
We wanted to serve our children ice cream.
Truthfully, have to be honest with you, not gonna lie;
We like ice cream too.

Would have had to
Acquire a cow (trade for?)
And ice cream-maker.

Insurance.  That’s a big one.
Car; mortgage; coat.
Drill our own oil and gas?

47 years of heating with wood, 
But a chain saw to cut and a pickup truck to haul.

Big propane-fired pottery kiln—
You’re gonna need clay, bricks, kiln shed,
A house attached to the shed to live in while trying to avoid

The Money Economy.

Plant a big garden
But buy seeds, rototiller,
shovel, rake, hoe.

So much to buy 
On my way to avoiding 

The Money Economy.

A nice idea

But ice cream.
