It may be quite a comfort when know
That in your pocket is a programmed card
To pay for anywhere you want to go.
It’s easy spending money in this way,
Sometimes without a record of the sale.
Can you be sure you have enough to pay ?
Better to have some notes tucked in your purse,
Then when they’re gone you know you have no more.
To overspend’s not good but debt is worse.
We need to keep a cash economy
For all of us befuddled by the net.
When banks collapse where will our money be?
A tin at home may be the safest bet.
