Pansies (Lawrence)/Always this Paying—

​
ALWAYS THIS PAYING———
Nothing is really any fun, to-day,
because you've always got to pay for everything.
And whatever costs you money, money, money, is really no fun.

That's why women aren't much fun. You're always having to pay for them.
Or else, poor things, they're having to pay for themselves
which is perhaps worse.
Why isn't anything free, why is it always pay, pay, pay?

A man can't get any fun out of wife, sweetheart or tart
because of the beastly expense.

Why don't we do something about the money system?
