Compromised
“Your credit card’s been compromised
Perhaps, so just in case,
We’re sending out a new one
For the old one you’ll replace.
Please contact all the merchants
Where your number is on file.
You can substitute the new one.
(This may take a little while.”)
But I like my current number!
It’s a pain to make the change
And it’s not my fault that these accounts
I have to rearrange.
It’s a shame that we are living
In an age with so much fraud.
Still, when honest folk are punished,
It’s the system that seems flawed.
