Debit Cards Only Poem by Joe Rosochacki

The Parker Brothers have done it,
Turned a relative simple game into faster finance,
The plastic has taken over the bill,
Is it some kind of conspiracy or is it by chance.
Monopoly has gone to E-Banking it has debit cards,
Kind of getting children ready if you will,
The pieces did change in respect to the game,
The dollar values in game should be changed as well,
Inflation and all,
Free floating currency reflecting standards,
Of American economical condition,
The game should have a portative Chinese person who represents China,
The argument is that China will have the USA in pocket financially speaking,
Carry the USA debt by buying the downwardly ever spiraling dollar,
Every time a person makes a move, give a premium to China,
(see observation “And I don’t give a damn about a green back dollar”)
Then China would tally up its number,
And win the game because the players defaulted,
Because every on in game,
Would over extend their credit/debit cards,
We are playing the game as instructed,
The government plays the same,
A many a tear has to fall,
It’s all the game.
