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
