Burlesque treats a serious subject ridiculously or addresses a trivial story.
Banks are lean, mean greedy machines
Gobbling everyone's hard-earned cash
While the interest earnings hit a new low
Oh joy!--A year has passed and I got one cent
A lucky penny like one found on the sidewalk
A penny saved is a penny earned
The recession, drawbacks, and taxes
Emptying your wallet faster than you can say "paycheck"
Desperately digging for more money in the piggy bank
Your house is being foreclosed
At least there's no more mortgage to pay
Now the only worry is that plastic might devour you
A/N: Should I add an explanation of the poem? Tell me your thoughts. :)
