Now gambling we've done, as a rhyme or two has surely been spun. But that happens right away. Did you know you could still be doing it at your bay? Rigged in every way. As there you stay.
Got a credit card.
Paid for the bigger yard.
Got a new loan.
Paid for a fancy drone.
Got another credit card.
Paid for an even bigger yard.
Got a new loan.
Paid for an even bigger drone.
Boy, this rhyme is lame.
Can make the same claim.
Which is more lame though?
The rhyme or the idiot spending the dough?
Guess what? It's a bet.
No legs broken, so don't fret.
Unless you go to a loan shark.
They may leave a mark.
You're betting you can pay it down
You're betting you won't frown.
You're betting the payments will be fine.
You're betting everything will align.
Whoops, lost job.
Whoops, you owe Bob.
Whoops, new expense came due.
Lost that bet, did you?
Now you're behind.
The goal of mankind.
Stay stuck in debt.
Play the rigged bet.
For you can get another loan.
A loan to cover the loan of your drone.
Yeah, that will help you out.
No more will you scream and shout.
Whoops, another expense is had.
Whoops, you need that latest fad.
Whoops, you bought more shoes.
Whoops, you act like it is new when you lose.
Not your fault at all.
Nope, not at your hall.
Society says you must.
In a new loan you can trust.
Pfffffffffffffft to such brain dead people any day. It is a bet at your bay. I suppose at least you get something for it. But doesn't mean you still won't throw a poor pitiful me fit. Well poor pitiful you did it to your poor pitiful self. Wasn't a merry little elf. It's a rigged deck any day and yet you still play. Just long term gambling. Know anyone who fits my rambling? Bet you know many in mass. They'll get no sympathy from my little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.

HELLO CAT!
ReplyDeleteA copy paste would be too easy
As in easy.... peasy!
Not my style, you know
At the blue guy show
Not now, not ever
Did James Bond say, "Never say never"?
Or what it something about some octo...pussy?
No, not the kind that's bushy lol
Anyway, it's Friday at my bay....
Such a fun day!
Grrrrrrreat post
From coast to coast...
Have some deluxe toast!
Maybe Pussy Galore
DeleteCame ashore
Flew right in
For a spin
Like a copy and paste
In post haste
Or pre haste
Stuck like paste
Yippppeeeeeee
For meeeeeeee
Credit cards cost a bit of dough
ReplyDeleteUnless you're baking bread at your show
Ka-ching! Here we go
Want to book a room.. a card you need to show
Just so you know
At the kitty cat show :)
Unless you can bribe away
DeleteAnd with cash pay
A credit card is handy,
ReplyDeleteFor so many things these days.
As long as you keep the payments up,
When the bill comes in to pay.
Yvonne.
That you must do
DeleteOr get flushed down the loo
I'm amazed by how many people carry balances, but that's how the cc companies make their money.
ReplyDeleteYep, that and there year fee crap
DeleteThat they charge each silly sap
I have a debit card but not a credit card. That way I won't spend money that I don't actually have. On the minus side, since I haven't had a loan for about twenty-five years, I literally have NO credit rating. Not good, not bad, but NONE.
ReplyDeletehaha and with that you won't get crap
DeleteNot even from a used car chap
It is a gamble all right. We have a mortgage and a car loan that's almost paid off. We do use the credit cards but easily pay them off every month. When you're ordering online, credit card is the only way to go.
ReplyDeleteYeah, credit card is the way to go online
DeleteVisa Debit though is a fine way to align
There's a reason fast food places take plastic. People spend more. But the bill will come due which for most of us is too soon.
ReplyDeleteYep, collectors come a knocking
DeleteAnd yet many still find it shocking
Can someone loan me a number 1?
ReplyDeleteHave to ask Blue
DeleteToday at our zoo
Almost done paying off a card
ReplyDeleteThen no longer using it
If we don't have the money
at home we will sit.
Betty
If can't be bought
DeleteWe don't need it at our plot
I would rather nap that run up the credit card bills!
ReplyDeleteMaybe give them a chew
DeleteThat is fun too
I bet I have never been in debt. And when I met Ray I got him on the right track real quick. No debtors prison for us
ReplyDeleteGood way to be
DeleteThat track is the best for thee
We're what credit card companies call deadbeats. I used to think that meant someone who didn't pay his bills, but it's actually someone who always pays a credit card bill in full, so the companies don't make any money in interest. We figure if we can't afford it, we don't need it.
ReplyDeleteAs a corollary, there's another similar type of financial-handling that's befuddled me over the years. Advocates of this type of money management have big expensive houses and cars... for show... but in reality, they can barely afford to provide the necessities for their children or keep food on their tables. Talk about messed-up priorities.
That sure is the way at my sea
DeleteNo need, can be skipped by we
Guess we're deadbeats too
Of those others we know a few
Big and shiny and that is it
Whining they have no dough more than a bit
Do you buy more than you can afford
ReplyDeleteThat's like striking a losing chord
How do you pay your bill
Do beans grow up the hill
That may grow up
DeleteTo fill Jack's cup
But you ain't got Jack
If Jill gives him flack
Another purchase on credit
ReplyDeleteMore dreams built on plastic
Yea I said it
Living this way is so drastic
Ready to explode
DeleteWith credit only mode
Gambling you say. I live in Las Vegas...but I don't gamble. I like my money to much to give it away.
ReplyDeleteYeah, no need to flush it down the loo
DeleteLet the tourists do that for you
If I don't have cash, I don't need it. Though I have had to whip out the cc in an emergency a time or two, but make sure that balance is paid off asap.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is good to have in case of emergencies indeed
DeleteBut pay the sucker off before it grows like a weed
orlin N cassie.....N then a long comez bank rupt ~~~~~ we iz late in sneekin round two day; heerz two a grate week oh end ~ ☺☺♥♥
ReplyDeleteA late sneak works
DeleteYep, they'll soon lose their perks
Ah Pat in the Hatt
ReplyDeleteHows about that
What do you bet
I aint got no debt
I'll give you a loan
Make you groan
Thousand percent interest
Perhaps I jest.
Gary, Gary nary contrary....
You'll see it one day
DeleteOne day when 2999 is the year on display
If you like the Las Vegas scene
ReplyDeleteAnd you think that gambling’s keen
Then please let me share
The best odds you’ll fair
Is found playing their change machine
100% money back
DeleteOdds sure don't lack
Crane Your Neck To The Rigged Deck!
ReplyDeleteLoans around one right up to the neck
Lifestyle under control
To act and be very bold
Or one destined to writing loan checks
Hank
Checks on top of checks
DeleteHave to have sparkly decks
This brings back work. I do have some who played things right but got sick or lost their job and then used credit hoping Time would be on their side but many a time it's just people who say, "They sent me the card so..." I have people who bought a home they truly can't afford. They have a credit line which helped them create a new fence or deck or kitchen or bathroom but they also used it for Christmas, vacations etc... the average person has 6 credit cards and the total balance they owe just on the cards could be around $25,000. Then they have a $1,000 overdraft and usually a couple of payday loans and a couple of old cell phones. The total is usually $50,000 +
ReplyDeleteBlah, that would drive me nuts
DeletePayday loans I'd avoid those ruts
50% interest on those suckers too
Up and up many go at their zoo
It is actually 59.95% not including penalties and late fees
DeleteDamn, I thought I was exaggerating a bit
DeleteStay far far far away from that shit
I'd like to have a credit card to buy myself a house. A limit large enough and an interest rate of zero would be good. Hey, one can dream??? Apartment living is nice (maintenance is covered, pools cleaned for you, etc.) but I miss having my own home. :)
ReplyDeletehaha that would be nice
DeleteIf you figure it out, send me those lucky dice
Having one's own home is nicer indeed
Even if one has to weed
You are so right, Pat!
ReplyDeleteWho needs new fancy shoes
or a better drone where he's at
followed by singing the debt blues?
I have compassion for people hit with a devastating disease
or other costly things out of their control,
but live below your means, please,
so you with the hard times can roll.
No fancy dress is worth the stress
of a mounting financial mess!
Nope, toss the dress
DeleteNo need to guess
More doesn't beat less
Like some weird game of chess
Disease is blah in every way
But pffft to those who just pay and pay
As a society
ReplyDeleteWe incur a lot of debt
Comes to haunt us
With each paycheque we bet
Yep, everything we get paid
DeleteSure comes off as a trade
