Cut Shuffle And Deal Poem by richard (mak) makinson

Cut Shuffle and deal
To the accountant you say
Why can't the kids have
A second holiday
You don't need money
Just sign the slip
It seems such a silly game
Playing cards like this
Take another loan
To pay what you owe
Take a second mortgage
Make sure you keep your home
I'll never get divorced
I can't afford an ex
She's got a gold card
And platinum comes next

Cut Shuffle and deal
To the accountant you say
Can I afford to have
Another rise in pay
I haven't seen money
Since I got a credit card
Open up my wallet
It stretches a yard
Got a letter in the mail
From the taxman it came
Said that I should pay him
Or go straight to jail
I pay Visa with my Diners
My Diners with Amex
Every day I get deeper
And deeper into debt

Cut Shuffle and deal
To the accountant you say
Which card should I
Be using today
I'm playing with no ante
My finances are a fantasy
I don't know how I'll pay
But I'll up and stay
You should spread the cost
And save for a rainy day
But once you start signing
You pay and pay and pay
I pay Diners with my Visa
My Visa with Amex
It's so very easy
To get deeper into debt
