Enemy Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

I owe no man, no man owes me
Exactly as it ought to be.
I pay hard cash for what I buy.
There is a simple reason why.

I will not pay expensively
for things I buy impulsively.
I do not need the latest style
I find that if I wait a while.

That fashion change and prices fall
I can resist the siren call.
Of T.V. adverts telling me
that I can have all that I see.

By spending on my credit card,
but I am always on my guard.
I have no debts that worry me
at nights I can sleep peacefully.

Your credit cards an enemy
although it claims to be friendly
I know it is convenient
It’s too easy to get overspent,
