How To Lose Your Money and Your Friend

How to Lose Your Money and Your Friend

By Elton Camp


If you have your money and your friend
You’ll lose them both if you dare to lend

“I hate to ask, but you know you can trust me.”
Your money you will nevermore come to see

Relatives are going to act exactly the same way
They will feel free to borrow, but never repay

I loaned money a first, second and third time
And afterwards never again saw a single dime

The only benefit was I never saw them anymore
From there on out, they were careful to ignore

So maybe it was actually money well spent
I lost a small amount and away the pest went

But I learned by experience the right way to go
Whenever somebody asks, simply tell him, “No”
