How To Waste Your Money

How to Waste Your Money By Elton Camp On a pair of shoes, for a warranty would you pay? Or just wear them until it’s time to throw them away? So why buy an extended warranty on anything cheap? It’s far better to take a chance and your money to keep Most of the time, you will end up disgusted and sad If you buy anything on the basis of a television ad And if it offers two for an additional shipping charge Often too late, you find out that charge is quite large A traveling representative asks you to have a free meal You can know that you’ll be pressured for some deal Get involved in anything with a stranger on the phone And you can be certain that your money will be gone Anytime you are assured any venture God will bless You are going to be in for incredible cheat and distress But really, it shouldn’t take a genius to be able to guess That God doesn’t promote any business or its success And this is a way that your money you are sure to lose: If to give a loan to a friend or a relative you do choose Not only will you never see your money anymore The relationship will never again be as it was before
