Blocked
Two notifications by mail
Just informed us our payments did fail.
With no idea why,
They seemed to imply
We’d been hacked on a frightening scale.
My spouse placed a call to the bank;
Put on hold, we knew where we did rank.
For an hour I paced
Thinking someone erased
All our savings, the numbers all blank.
When an agent responded, he knocked
All our fears to the ground; we were shocked
To discover the fact
Our account was intact
But the bank had it purposely blocked.
Seems an update, at times, is required
And on my side, it somehow expired.
The problem was fixed
With several clicks
But a shot of tequila’s desired!
