Cashless
We never used an ATM
In Stockholm, on our trip.
The guide on our free walking tour
Took dollars for a tip.
For every other purchase
We used charge cards like the Swedes,
Since coins and bills, it seems, are things
Today nobody needs.
A sign in a museum
Made the point with quite a splash:
"We accept just who you are but we
Are not accepting cash."
How strange to visit someplace
With no currency in hand.
Perhaps someday all cash will be
Considered contraband.
