Back To Keeping Money Under the Mattress?

 

By Elton Camp

 

Way back before there was any FDIC

People, of banks, were leery as can be

 

For if your bank had to shut its door

Your money was gone forevermore

 

Now that banks charge a monthly fee

Many keep cash at home as that’s free

 

With the economy in such a bad shape

A monthly bank charge folks can’t take

 

Some rather risk being robbed by a thief

Than to let the greedy banker bring grief

 

Better to keep money in a rubber band

Than into the banker’s grasping hand

 

The big banks have mostly lost our trust

Small local banks or S&L are now a must

 

Keeping large amounts of cash isn’t wise

But that people do shouldn’t bring surprise
