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
