Nov 2021
The Holidays are steadily approaching
It’s all about Spent Spent and Spent
Shopping with no end
Credit Card Charges to the max
It’s a Financial Fact
No direct cash flow
Although
Credit Cards can fill in the gap
With credit cards, there is a cap
Santa would have to give me some cash
I could add my own stash
That would be a perfect gift from Santa, catch my drift
Buying this one and that a gift
But some people act like a sift
Now who I am buying a gift for I hope they appreciate
Otherwise, I will depreciate
I am already picturing my statement in advance
It will be over spent at glance
After the Holidays come to a close
I will be Broke
The Holidays are certainly no joke
I will be in Debt Detail
No pass, but a Fail
This is my moment of truth
It has nothing to do with youth
Budget that isn’t
Money that went
There will be no question in what did buy
I won’t even try
Shop until you drop
That message needs to stop
My credit card could kick me out of my own house
Thank you God I don’t have a spouse
My declaration from my credit card could say, “You have no room here”
So much for preserver
This year, I will try to cut my finances down
Then again, maybe I won’t be found
Spend only a certain amount
I want to see money in pocket where I have something to count
Debt goes on
Let me organize my money in how to get along
That where I truly belong
If you see me on the homeless street, credit card won and I am in defeat
Just walk on
So long
