Saving for a rainy day is what our elders said
would keep us going when we ran out of our daily bread.
But the banks and merchants have been selling pretty hard
to run us into debt by using Visa, Mastercard.
"Live within your means" is an American cliche.
"You can't take it with you" is what advertisers say.
Suddenly the value of our homes has gone to pot;
that is where we put our money, as our elders taught.
Highbinders who risked it all and borrowed heavily
get more cash from Uncle Sam for absolutely free.
In this topsy turvy world there's one thing that's for sure --
money is the cause of grief and also is its cure.
So if you haven't any you can thank your lucky stars
and if you have may you get piles from sitting on gold bars.
