Life's Bills Poem by Ewen A Morrison

Life's Bills

Rating: 5.0


He never mentioned money,
looking back, seems funny...
funny-odd, I mean to say,
just wasn't made that way!

While we all fret so, today,
with counting, 'til 'pay-day':
can possess all - not hard,
can slap it on 'credit card'!

'Credit-score' - very well
eventually: 'goes to hell'...
enjoy the Credit as we can,
'til 'brown-stuff' hits fan!

Dad was right – was he not?
'don't spend cash ain't got'...
though didn't say this much;
always lived his life as such!
