Money

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.thumbs up

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...

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 .
