Prompt: If you had an unlimited budget for 24 hours, what would you do?

If I had an unlimited budget for just one day,
I’d wake up and casually buy the Milky Way.
Not the candy bar, though I’d take those, a ton.
I mean the whole galaxy, each star, every one.

I’d hire a skywriter to scrawl in the air,
“My llama’s now CEO, not that you’d care?”
I’d pay off all debt with a tap of my phone,
Then no one need to take out a loan.

I’d commission a castle made strictly of cheese,
With a hydraulic drawbridge to keep out the bees.
Each room would be themed with a trampoline floor,
And a butler whose sole job is to open each door.

I’d buy all the billboards from here to Dubai,
Post photos of my cat looking moody and sly.
I’d purchase a submarine shaped like a shoe,
And rename the moon “Dave” (no charge to renew).

I’d fly in my private chef’s personal jet,
Make gold-plated tacos, then instantly regret
The dental expense but with billions to burn,
I’d buy every dentist and make them all learn
To sing show tunes while flossing, do you want a new crown?
No problem, I’d buy every dentist town.

And then, with one minute before it’s all through,
I’d buy everyone pizza. And send one to you.
Then back to my budget: a firm, solid “zero.”
But hey, for a day? I was king, baby. Hero.
