Atm Terminator


Sarah Shopper!
Coupon please budget-y listen
and bankruptcy understand

That ATM Terminator is out there — 
It can’t be mall bargained with,
nor consumer reasoned with

An Automated Teller Machine 
doesn’t feel purse pity,
or cancelled check remorse
Or insolvency fear

And it absolutely 
will not cash register stop,
checkout ever!
Until you are empty pocket dead

Freddie, Love that last line in your light verse 'Until you are empty pocket dead'. Grew tired of the jeering ATM, and planted a money tree instead. -Richard
