Alright class, settle down and listen close, Let’s talk about “spent,” it’s quite a dose! The dictionary’s right, you see, it’s true, It means to pay out – money for you! But "spent" has a feeling, a little bit more, Like using up something, right down to the core. Imagine a cookie, delicious and bright, You eat it slowly, with all of your might. You've spent that cookie, completely devoured, Its sweetness is gone, its form now recovered… (Just kidding! It’s gone forever, you see!) It’s also when money leaves your hand, For treats or for treasures, across the land. Like buying a book, or filling up a tank, "Spent" means you've given it – that’s what we thank!
