December 3: Monopoly

I would like to buy
Park Place, but only
if you’ll also sell Boardwalk
cheap. I won’t tell you
I’ve been saving up
while you’ve been buying up utilities
and railroads. Count
your money. Yes two twenties
makes forty. Now count
by fifties you owe me
five hundred dollars. Rent’s
going up. Keep up
or go bankrupt.
Free parking? And I almost
had you sunk. I wouldn’t
offer him that much
for Baltic Avenue. We’re out
of houses. Nobody can build.
You gotta have the cash
for a hotel. You still
won’t sell me Boardwalk?
I owe you two hundred dollars
again? Maybe those railroads
were a good idea. You’ve got
to learn to count your money,
then you can be banker.
You don’t owe me
anything, it’s mortgaged.
Atlantic Avenue. Rent
is how much? The seven
year old wins.
