You borrow to pay your Son's Education
in hopes he will get through, that tough
Dissertation...

you find yourself up to your neck in debt
a Collector has taken your rent...
it is difficult to remember that original
objective, was to get to your son's Big
Event...

Wow!, to be quite honest, you explain!
I would truly over-extend again...
at my drop of a hat, never to complain...

Son you must look forward
to where you're going...
at this same time, you must
also look aft...

for where you did come from,
as to see all this, my money...
was truly well spent wisely ~ for YOU
not a DATE ~ you wanted at your Prom! 'SMILE'
