Zelle or Venmo
Before I had a credit card,
My car, newly repaired,
Required cash to pick it up
And I was unprepared.
I borrowed money, then I got
A MasterCard - hooray!
It changed my means of payment,
Which I still do use today.
Along with checks and cash, that card
Could pay for all I’d need
And up until quite recently,
It seemed that way, indeed.
But then there was some money
That I wanted to convey
And a credit card or check
Just wouldn’t be a way to pay.
Then how ‘bout Zelle or Venmo?
Was the question I was asked.
Alas, I called my son and
For this favor, he was tasked.
It isn’t fair that things that worked
For years no longer do
And with this new technology,
I do not have a clue.
