A whole three dollars and sixty five cents
that's a whole lot of time just for mints.
It would buy myself a dainty cake or two

It's coming together, I'm getting a clue
the answer's coming; trying to get through.
The 'logical' thing would be to invest in a book
for that would afford me unlimited looks.
