but I want some money, too

Amakuki Sessan, a Zen teacher, has a suggestion for making poetry relevant for modern times. He suggests adding the following line to the end of each poem:

But I want some money, too!

He gives an example of how this would work, using a classic of Japanese verse:

I started off along the shore, The sea shore at Tago And saw the white and glistening peak of Fuji all aglow Through falling flakes of snow. But I want some money, too!

Since I have been working on a little haiku on this blog [1,2], I thought I would try out his technique and see how it turns out. So, here goes:

Mind, pot of wondrous iron throw in whatever you've got it all turns tender -- but I want some money, too!

Hey, that is kind of catchy.
