I took a ride by car and by railroad-
And, in the meantime, passed many a road.
.
Beginning with the purple tones of
Mediterranean and Baltic Avenue-
By more than chance, $200 I happened to acrue.
.
Of course, the income tax got me, and I had to pay-
I felt like all of my earned money had been given away.
.
But, of course, in the light blue skies, I ventured on, and bought some property-
To the likes of Connecticut, Vermont, and Oriental Avenue, a bit of
revenue, I did happen to see.
.
I took the time, without fail-
To visit, a good friend in jail.
.
And, then off to St. Charles Place I went-
Also, to States Avenue and Virginia Avenue,
where much purple time was spent.
.
Orange highlighted I was delighted to see-
St. James Place, New York Avenue, and
that one avenue, simply named Tennessee.
I heard that there was free parking was up ahead-
But, somehow or another, I missed it, for
me, it was an issue that was dead.
.
As I continued on my trip, I saw much red up
ahead-
That included Kentucky Avenue, Illinois Avenue,
and Indiana Avenue, before getting tired, and
then resting my head.
.
Before I had left on my trip, I had made sure-
That the Water Works and the Electric Company,
had been paid, so that the services back home
would endure.
.
The trip got more sunny, with
yellow so bright-
Atlantic Avenue, Ventnor Avenue,
and Marvin Gardens, this planned trip
felt so right.
.
A mishap occured, and I ended up
in jail-
I had taken a detour, and quickly
paid, without much fail.
.
After serving time, the better side, of
life was seen-
Pacific Avenue, North Carolina Avenue,
and Pennsylvania Avenue, all highlighted
in green.
.
With a few purchases, came the luxury tax-
It was about time to stop spending, to avoid
going bankrupt, for my card was heading
towards the mode of max.
.
And, then finally came the real reward-
Thanks to funds from a community chest,
I royally blue, studied Park Place and Boardwalk very hard.
.
Of course, I could have started all over again-
But, I grabbed my $200, and headed back home,
up and over the bend.
.
I took a ride by car and by railroad-
And, in the meantime, passed many a road.

For the old corn cob came first.
