Skint, Brassic, Stoney Broke

I am just an ordinary bloke, I work quite hard, but I never seem to gain a yard, Which way do I need to turn, How come other people have money to burn, I don't really want that much, Just enough to live with a little to spare, I don't have designer clothes to wear, Just some worn out jeans and some 'T' shirts that are a bit threadbare, But I just need to feel, relaxed and good, So perhaps I should-- JUST ROB A BANK!!!

hi Mark, just working my way reading you poems. Well written. How much harder things are now in Uk since you wrote this :( l'm so frugal l dont know how much more l can penny pinch, but l do try and make time to learn new things which l can do for free from the internet. My mom had 7 kids so we never had much, but l learnt so much wisdom from her. Hope you have a good week, and keep writing . J.
