Who ever said, “A penny saved is a penny earned!”
I say, “A penny saved is a penny to spend!”
But then again, there are many who twist this even more
“A penny spent is one that cost you more!”
Especially when it is imaginary // on the card
How easy it is to spend those invisible pennies
When all it takes is a signature of promise
To repay it all someday // in the future
Then there are some whose adage is
“A penny spent is a penny stolen…
From some poor twit who was dumb enough
to trust me!”
In Canada they no longer have pennies!
A penny there is only in your dreams
