The Credit Crunch

Oh no, we are deep in the credit crunch
Things are so bad, I cannot even buy lunch

I should have saved when we were in plenty
But now my pockets are completely empty

I don't think there will be a bonus at Christmas time
Maybe we will get some good old mulled wine

Gas prices are on the rise
Despite the public's cries

This will affect me greatly
Especially as I have a big mortgage rate
I am trying not to get irate

Everyone is in the same boat
except the traders who can sit around and gloat

I hope this crunch does not last
as I am soon losing all my cash

But at least I have my health
and as they say
when you have that you are on your merry way
