Borrowed Money

Can I borrow some money?
I will pay it right back
Just right now I lack
The funds to pay my bills
Seems I spent too much money on too many thrills
I ate out every meal
I smoked a pack a day
I forgot to save for a rainy day
You see I believe in living in the here and now
The past and future, I don't know how
You can worry about such things and take away from the fun
Of living in the moment and life on the run
So it seems I'm in a pickle
I don't even have a nickel
So please don't think it's a crime
If I borrow a dime
Or more because of the wisdom I lack
And don't be surprised if I don't pay it right back
So call if you want cause it's no use
I will just make up an excuse

About this poem:

I got a call from a family member wanting to borrow some money. I don't lend money to anyone for the trouble it causes and the peace I get to have not worrying about unpaid loans.

Good stuff Mr. McRad. I wont give money to a better capable of work but I will loan mine to people and just expect nothing back to save the grief ... Cheers
