Digging the Hole Deeper
Digging the Hole Deeper
By Elton Camp
If you’ve dug yourself into debt too big
For sure, the hole don’t continue to dig
Credit was easy so folks overextended
Then suddenly, all that become upended
Financial affairs got into a terrible mess
Our sins we must now leave and confess
Working there is just about the only way
That we should see the inside of a café
And it is tap water that we need to drink
About an overpriced latte don’t even think
Give up that costly golf club membership
Stay at a budget inn when you’re on a trip
When it’s a car that you just have to buy
That newest luxury model don’t even try
Make your smaller, present house to do
Not some McMansion that you will rue
Tickets for a concert or the football game
Don’t even consider something that lame
Use the nearby state college for your child
Not some place where the costs are wild
Your outgo cannot exceed your income
To act otherwise is irresponsible & dumb
