Why is it when payday comes around all I hear is a quick zipping noise and my bank account is empty? Bills are like evil little chipmunks plotting to steal my hard earned acorns as fast as I can hoard them. They look all cute and innocent, but inside they’re just waiting to strike! My acorns get automatically deposited into my tree every Thursday. Glistening, plump and juicy they sit just waiting for the right time. I have urges and eat one every now and again, but before I can dip my hand into the stash, my fingers scrape the bottom and only crumbs remain. Off scamper those evil chipmunks with their cheeks chock-full. Greedy little rodents reaping the benefits of my labor and sweat. It’s more than I can bear most days. Already after the chipmunks have reeked their havoc, I have a few acorns left for gas until next Thursday arrives – and that’s it! No new outfits for me! No drive-through chicken nuggets for my baby girl! Its ramen noodles on the couch watching re-runs because we can’t spare enough to rent the award winning movie “Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer”. Ah well, it’s more Oscar the Grouch tonight little one.
