New Credit Card

The bank did not apologize When sending my new card. They hoped I’d understand That fighting fraud is very hard. But “compromises did occur” At “merchants undisclosed,” So brand-new cards were issued To secure things, I supposed. Instead of being grateful, though, I’m very much annoyed. My automatic payments now Will soon be null and void. I’ll have to contact E-Z Pass And Shutterfly, as well. My MetroCard won’t add more fares Unless this news I tell. This happens several times a year; The system seems to crash. Perhaps I should look to the past And pay this all in cash!

It's always the same story, Ilene! Ok...as long as things work well, but as soon as hiccups occur it could become a nightmare! As always you entertain with a natural pen. // paul

It's almost enough to make you envy the down and out.

Just to let you know that I am really enjoying your collection of poems - I don't get to say that to too many folk in the soup. Some may try an occasional iffy rhyme, but most insist on supporting them with a batch of flittery fluttery word piles. I tend to write whenever I'm moved - fortunately I'm easily moved..........but you are amazing, the volume and quality of your work shows how easy poetry must come to you. Best regards, Dennis

thank you, dennis! when i retired (from teaching), i decided to write a poem a day, thinking that it would last a few months or maybe a year. now i'm totally addicted but i'm also loving it and have no intention of stopping. it's wonderful when someone shares my interest in rhyming and reads my work. much appreciated! i'm enjoying your poetry very much, too...

yes, but unfortunately, the honest people have to pay the price for it!
