gave me a dime to buy a lime

[abhijit]

gave me a dollar to buy a trawler.
gave me a cent to buy a tent.
gave me a nickle to buy a sickle.

Ok, I am done.

OK, here is the solution to the 50-year-old nursery rhyme:

Mother gave me a nickel to buy a pickle.
I didn't buy a pickle;
I bought some chewing gum.

Moral of the story:

The government distributes the wealth by giving tax revenue to people in hopes that they will buy food, clothing, and other necessities. Instead, the people buy booze, cigarettes, and drugs.

[abhijit]

Gum doesn't even fit in the rhyme scheme.

Mother gave me a pound to buy a hound.
I didn't buy a hound;
I spend the money, monkeying around.

In a lot of countries, the people don't get to see any wealth at all. The only beneficiaries of government distribution programs are the distributors themselves. People are forced to sign documents, which say they have received the wealth.

A recourse for this is to distribute food and clothing instead of distributing wealth. This will ensure that people get what they need. This also means, the government is imposing some kind of control over these people. Of course, nothing stops the person from selling the food & clothes to buy drugs and booze.

Great alternative. But money is the medium of exchange and "It's a free country." So, free men will do what free men want to do even if it's not what's best for the free men.

Mother gave me a quarter to buy some water.
I didn't buy some water;
I bought a otter

[abhijit]

Mother gave me a quarter to buy some water.
I didn't buy some water;
I bought a otter

Then I skinned it.
That's where I got my neat hat.

Is a quarter 25c?

[abhijit]

Is a quarter 25c?

If you mean 25 ¢, yes.

Where are you from?

I vote this enhancement to the original verse as #1.

[AsmIscool]

My mother gave me a nickel.
My father gave me a dime.
My sister gave me a lover boy
That kissed me all the time.

My mother took my nickel.
My father took my dime.
My sister took my lover boy
And gave me Frankenstein.

He made me wash the dishes.
He made me scrub the floor.
I didn't like that a single bit
So I kicked him out the door.

Doesnt quite fit but thats tthe best I can come up with

Programmers who can also write poetry tend to frighten me.

I have often thought that most Macs were programmed by frustrated poets and/or artists.
