- Shopping Time - Plastic Card -

First time ....
                                               Back in the pocket
                                                The second time ....
                                                    Up in the bag
                                                     Third time ....
                                             Starting to feel the heat
                                                   Fourth time ....
                                               Down in the handbag
                                                    The fifth time ....
                                                     I'm a little tired
                                                       Sixth time ....
                                             Once again into the pocket
                                                      Seventh time .....
                                                  I soon start to glow
                                                       Eigth time ....
                                            Once again into the handbag
                                                        Ninth time ....
                                                   Now I'm really hot
                                                  Tenth time .... (Phu...)
                                                    Now I am: EMPTY !
                                         There are busy times for "plastic card"

Great read... I've solved that problem... If I don't have the cash... I don't go shopping. This year the TV broke down so my Hubby is doing the shopping (for the new TV) for one big family gift... Actually it'll be a small TV, but it'll give a lot of family time, no matter the size. LOL...

I like your take on the expression "money burning a hole in your pocket" With plastic it's a lot harder to see until you get the bill.

i always think about the ones at the other end of the transaction, waiting there like Oliver Twist, "Please can i have more" a gem of a poem is this, the theme is today, and that like this poem is awesome....
