Keeping the Wolf Away from the Door

What's that scratching sound I hear?

Keeping the Wolf Away From the Door

 

By Elton Camp

 

Who has seen hard economic times like these

Few of us are still able to spend as we please

Even those with jobs feel they’re not so steady

So to take on needless debt sure aren’t ready

 

It is very risky for most of us to invest in stock

But the low return on our savings is a bad shock

To fund our retirement we are told to be saving,

But the world all around us seems to be caving

 

And adding to the economic woes like these,

Many desirable jobs have been moved overseas

Another problem is illegal aliens who are able

To work cheap if they’re paid under the table

 

What can we do to repel that wolf from the door?

There’s a need for discipline as never seen before

It seems advisable to cut such expenses as we can

And work out and use a sensible budgeting plan
