How can we mend
the money mess
we must address?
When pundits say
to spend our pay
But jobs are lost
at public cost
If banks won’t lend
how can we spend?
Didn’t debts
and banking bets
cause the bubble
that burst in trouble?
Our kids must learn
to avoid this burn
Not spending all
when at the mall
Paying bills
not padding tills
with unwise debt
that can’t be met
But companies crash
without our cash
And factories fire
Finances dire
What shall we do
our catch-22
Financially used
and clearly confused
