Debit Dude
Aug 6, 2022
An earlier draft was set to music by Eva Kendrick.
It’s not about the tether or,
Whether to my credit,
My spending mates can sever mine and her credit line.
It’s not about pleasuring,
Measuring my esteem by LL or Geoffrey Beene.
An overreach must be underserved and
Cut off unless I become a ward of….
It’s about the debit card that catches me up,
Without a credit line!
It’s the funds that match my salary,
Not my spending joy or accomplices (Gucci crime).
It’s about my low means,
The steady anchor,
The cents and what is readily seen.
Don’t send me no credit offers,
Just let me spend the cents I carry —
Cash and carry every time!
