Bad gifts
Cause rifts

Be rash
Spend cash

Debit
Credit

Worthwhile
Their smile

When it's not right the clerk gripes
But now cards have chips and mag stripes
To swype or insert
If done wrong it can hurt
Like partners who don't know their pipes...

Debit 
Liable, obligatory 
Owing, paying, pledging 
Indebtedness, deficit, salary, bonuses
Receiving, banking, depositing 
Affluent, prosperous 
Credit

A cashier told me she was going to Disney World
Asked me to join her, she was cute with blonde curls
Became quite unnerved
And what was much worse
Inserted my debit card tween her abundant curves...

Gaudy gifts for “ice cool” folk

Will we soon do away with all our currency
The way things are going it's almost a certainty
Debit cards have taken over
What happens playing poker
Do they throw in their debit cards, the heights of absurdity

Affection is yearned always
By those—who give their hearts;
Sweet nectar is what they crave
From whom they claim—a sweetheart.

Sweethearts fail to notice—
Sweethearts belong to another
Who credit their attention and focus
Leaving debit for the others....

dry, crisp leaf falls, gets blown far away,

        fresh, green shoot sprouts, brightens up the day,

                                          lose some,

                                           add some,

                    all accounted for, that's Nature's way !...

It’s of fifty thousand years 
Since the Mankind’s presence on Earth
By generations passed on
The baton of right to live 
All before Corona saved this
To pass on to the hands of next kins 

Say if this World is die of Corona
The debit goes to the Men aiming Mars
Isn’t it?...

Every time I take a trip
I lose a card.

Sometimes it’s a debit card.
(Oh no! I can’t get any cash!)

Sometimes it’s a credit card.
(Oh no! I can’t run up more bills!)

But I’ve never had a trip
that didn’t ultimately end
in finding out, to my chagrin,

I’d lost a card....

The ghost walks with me
boneless debris
of hairy limbs.

The device
manipulates the neck
spreading dark litter.

Clouds hurt astoundingly
on the eyes.
Debit of a sin.

A huge umbrells
open on wounds
of the bleeding tree.

The fruits fall
like golden nuggets
on the stretched hands.

SATISH VERMA...

amateur inventors are responsible...
they brought about near everything...
education is now an industry and
the media is about stamping out minds
to fit a modern consumer world
where-in the only privacy left
is under an all out attack...
brought about by the greedy...
how much cash in your pocket?...

This country's wealth is owed to loans
A debit the public now owns 
We're told there’s no cost
But old lifestyles are lost
Over war and pork barrel bones

The public’s frail pockets they pick
Politicians and banksters trick    
And prime the nation  
With graft and inflation 
Thus making the middle class sick...

Hustle bustle
all the day;
chitter chatter
all the way.

Pitter patter
goes the feet;
credit debit 
watch them fit.

Ponder wonder,
goes the mind;
"holla! did i
make a find?"

Whimmy whammy
swing the gates;
flimmy flammy
"we're in haste!"

Blunder Flounder
through the gates;
helter skelter
what a waste!...

He, alone, within our orbit
Might one call Rabbit, 
Having picked up Rabbit’s Habit
And Rabbit’s Smell does emit
Without pitying limit…
A Rabbit on merit!
Earning The -More -Than -A -Credit!

For watching him at it 
Your bank account debit
At least a little bit
For your face that shall be lit
And, laughing, end in a pit....

Weren’t you lucky, up to time of your blood thirsty war,
Russian sports, especially gymnasts and ballet at the fore,
Gave your presidency of Russia somewhat of a credit,
Hopefully with Western sanctions you’ll swim in debit
And, as for the Patriarch of your Russian Orthodox Church
Strange bedfellows you are, so odd,
You Putin, and your puppet Patriarch, will one day face God....

teetering the streets early morning dawn
as I left the swagger at the bar guzzling beers
I encountered the devil

the butt of a gun stopped the fun of insouciance
as for ever four metal plates in the face
not deter day or night the walk of evil

for the what not of few dollars in a pocket
an attempt at a slot to produce more
and the debit keeping its pin from you I smile still...

"Credit or debit" the cashier asked
On my last trip to the store
"Cash" says I and got a funny look
Says she,"No one uses cash anymore
 
 "I know my money's good", says I
"I worked hard enough to make it
And I'll just go to another store
If you don't want to take it."
 
"No," says she "I can take it
But for your information
Before  I do I will need
A picture identification."...

I - If it were possible to live

L - Life all over again,
O - Of course I'd still my heart give
V - Verily to your embrace.
E - Each time my nasty pain

Y - You come to my aid to chase,
O - On my bill goes a debit
U - Unaffordable by my passion.

M - Mama, you're more than every credit
A - A lad like me would ever pass;
M - More than just a confession
A - Are these words from my stars....

We are the fighters without reason
We look for peace, it's vainly, pal,
We cannot cry in any season
There are no bitter tears, we're well.
And sweetest tears like wicked habit
I feel romantica has gone
We are so cynical in debit
We are so proud, we win, we run,
We cannot see so close to ours 
some playful lips, and here again
We think a lot for tiresome hours:
How can we heal the woman's pain?...

Young and dumb, heart still growing.
Felt the flicker, still not knowing.

Bashful winks was all it took.
Fell prey to her fickle hook.

Flowers, candies, things that bobbled;
Broke the bank and left me hobbled.

Took out loans to keep her smiling.
Wore a frown when debit filing.

Just as I had had enough,
Called her father, stout and tough.

Now my world is in despair.
Explains why I've lost my hair....

Devices pull at my trigger
coaxing with memory vacant
to urge a splurge from me
without regret, without vigor,
an ageless chant that can't

rise to the level of ethics
or all corruption resounds
with shame the game they play.
To whittle down our passion ticks
their wave pounds as it surrounds

the magnetic magic of minds
until trudging synthetic
debit drain to pain all growth
before we beg our troubled rinds
to toss pathetic aims aesthetic....

It was funny at first
But now after further investigation 
I think the bubble has burst 
And it's not that funny after all
And we can't change it 
We are stuck with it
And it
Is irritating 
It's like a New Year's resolution 24 month Gym contract 
Direct Debit on your Bank Account 
You wish you could take back 
Like the Exercise Bike and Treadmill 
But you can't 
Because they are passed the point of no return
And the only burn you feel 
Is the raw deal...

One fine day Abraham  
Wanted to send a candygram
All the way to Amsterdam
Sweets ad nauseam     
Weighed by kilogram
All he could cram
In a huge box stamped with a monogram

This is the price said Ma’am
What’s wrong need a diagram
Abraham was in a jam
Had no cash felt like a ham
Meeker than a lamb  
Thought he better scram 
Postpone the candygram

Bad credit is debit card’s anagram
