The Long Wait Until Payday

Oh, how is it not payday yet?

I’ve completely run out of cash.

Being paid twice in December

Seemed such fun at the time,

But the money disappeared in a flash.

 

I’ve not done a food shop in a fortnight:

We’ve got the dregs of the cupboards for tea.

The Kids have got Sardines and Marmite

The Wife’s having hummus and rice

Whilst It’s Pasta shells in drinking chocolate for me.

 

We are running out of all the essentials

With no deodorant, I’m beginning to niff.

Plus, the wife’s run out of Veet

So her legs and her feet

Are beginning to develop a quiff.

 

We’ve not left the house in ages

Because I can’t put any fuel in the car.

We stuck indoors watching DVDs,

Which is becoming a peeve

Because Peppa Pig I can only tolerate so far.

 

With just under two weeks till payday

I don’t know how I’m going to survive.

Next year I’ll look up on Google

How to be more careful and frugal

That’s assuming that I’m still alive.
