Summary: I suppose you could say this is a social comment on how we handle our finances in this day and age.




Your Daily Dose Of Debt

Tired of all those credit cards
and loans that you can get
to help you cope with all your bills?
Your daily dose of debt.

Do you have a store card?
Or did you say "No - sod it!"
Are you sick of people asking
"What's in your wallet?"

When you take the dog out
for a visit to the vet
and he later sends the bill -
that's your daily dose of debt.

Have you planned a holiday
but don't know which is best?
Just stop awhile and think about
your mortgage interest.

Did you take out more insurance
for your personal protection?
It's just one more brown envelope
to add to your collection.

While wading through the junk mail,
how could we forget
that every day the postman brings
our daily dose of debt.
