The Deadly Plastic
If you want to make your life difficult and hard,
just pay for all your buys with a credit card.
If you use Visa, Master Card, Discover, and American Express,
you will soon be burdened with debt and distress.
Those companies are going to demand their payment
once you receive their monthly statement.
There will be high interest rates you will have to pay.
They grow and accumulate with each passing day.
Making minimum payments can take many years.
Bankruptcy and collections will be among your fears.
Yes, many big hardships are what you may encumber
if you use that mean plastic with a many-digit number.
So think before you buy with that deadly plastic.
Your economic outlook will not be so drastic.
