End of the Month Blues

I've got no money ba da da da....
Need me a Tiffany bauble
To brighten my day. Da da da da....

Can't order nothing 
My credit is over drawn Da da da da
Got three strings on my guitar and my TUNE IS FLAT

Sing with me now---Da Da Da Daaaaaa!!

I got the end of the month blues
Got no money blues
Got the gray sky blues.....Ba da da da!!!

Whistle now....

This is great! It especially speaks to me because singing and writing songs with my guitar is my hobby, and I'm broke too! :) Well done! And thanks so much for your comment on my poetry!!

You aren't the only one Doris. I'm trying the Readers Digest Sweepstakes. There's gotta be another way.

I'll sing with you, Doris. In this economy you could get vast numbers to sing along.

Sorry that this is happening in your life..Sometimes we live from one pay period to another..We forget to ration it out over that period so that we will have a little over time..Made a good poem..Made me think of Nannow..He would always say well at least the bills are paid for another month and we can stay here or the food is bought and we can eat..Mom
