Seems not long ago I could go to a game Give them some money No one to blame Now I can't because of Covid 19 This new policy seems pretty mean You have to buy them with a smart phone If you have only cash You are on your own So they have you all worked up and it's absurd Good luck if you forgot your password Then the electronic money you spent will be a slur When you're trying to go see the Brewers I spent three hours in frustration Till finally it was done I got the tickets at last But I long for the past When greenbacks were just fine And into my seat I would recline With Mt Dew and a plastic baseball cap filled with ice cream I didn't care about the fans who were mean Cause it was all so simple way back then When I could give them a twenty, a five or a ten

About this poem:
I bought my first tickets to a Brewers game and spent about three hours trying to figure it out, cash is way, way easier!

Agreed! We had the same in the UK during the Covid lockdowns and I couldn't work out how to use the apps on my phone when not allowed to use cash. Plus it's easy to forget what you've spent when using a card over the internet. I go out with a wallet containing notes and can see exactly what I'm spending.
We have to fight to keep cash relevant because there are still a lot of people out there who can use nothing else.

Yeah I liked cash too McR, except all the coins, but now everything for me is zip zap debit card, but I keep that $100 in the wallet handy, was useful twice in the last year or so when computers were down. Recently was at a fair and Lemoncello liqueur was selling for $38 but financial link was down, I said hey I have $30 cash, he said "Its yours" nice...
Hi mcradloff..the same story in NL...and i guess..also in many other countries....but a good poem..Lily

A bit easier for me with my phone , Buying or paying things Only when cash is needed then it becomes a hassle Coz i have to search an atm to withdraw and pay
We finally caught up with the world ..from 10s infections a day ...to 1000+ a day this week .

It's sad how Covid has impacted our world.
