     An Amusement parks prime steal.

Money makes the world go round. An amusement parks prime steal. I buy a trip on its carousel and ride upon its appeal. I love it and I hate it. I love the scent of a crisp clean bill. I can buy great things with its dollars and cents. I see people who play and scheme for it out of greed and cry when they lose it. People down on their luck pawning valuables just to have it. Money for addictions. I hated the fact that people are slaving their lives away just to earn it. Money that puts a roof over my head but it is also mine and my husbands sweat. Money needed for heat, electricity, water, clothes, and food, and for luxuries. like cars, furniture, and cable TV. People wanting to take it from you and me. For a good majority of us it can be too hot to handle. We carry it in our pockets and it burns holes. When we go broke it leaves us longing for it. It messes with our moods. So many commercials and ads telling people to come in so they can save it. Most of us like that idea but usually it makes those holes in our pockets bigger. Mickey Mouse loan officers sending me business brochures. Retail stores offering you their in store credit cards.  Congratulation's you've been approved!!! They've got their hands in your pockets now. But sadly you brought it upon yourself. You dig yourself a hole and up and out you have to go and it can be a long climb. For most of us we pay our bills with our sweat and we get smart with handling our debts. But for some filing for Bankruptcy is the way to go mostly because they have no choice and their credit is ruined. LOOK  MONEY! When you find it out on the street. An amusement parks prime steal. A carousel ride of appeal. And two empty pockets and new shoes upon my feet.
