Some Helpful Counsel During Hard Times
Some Helpful Counsel During Hard Times
By Elton Camp
If a financial emergency should unexpectedly arise
There’s an easy solution right there before your eyes
Payday loan stores are everywhere and do what’s right
To get you get out of whatever is your own fiscal tight
As to the interest the places charge, don’t make a fuss
You will have to pay what they ask, so no need to cuss
If your debt you can’t pay in full as soon as its due.
The place will make it very easy the loan to renew
Maybe some of your extravagant goods you can drop
For a loan at the friendly neighborhood pawnshop
You can always excuse it with the hopeless dream
That your loan you can repay and articles redeem
You claim that you paid five thousand for that ring?
At the pawnshop though, only a hundred will it bring.
If you arrive even one day late to redeem your gold
You are likely to find that for a profit it has been sold
So, my wise advice is, to stay out of financial water deep
The help of payday loans and pawnshops you must seek
My friend, if this writing you have very carefully read
I hope that you have decided to do the opposite instead
