    God made man and man made money...

    (continued from previous page)
    God made Satan and Satan made sin
    God made a hole and drove Satan in.
    II;
    I married my wife on Monday
    I brought her home on Tuesday,
    I cut a stick on Wednesday,
    To whack her well on Thursday,
    So she fell sick on Friday.
    Died she did on Saturday
    And glad was i on Sunday,
    To bury her on Monday.
