1. Madeleine Begun Kane:

The money withdrawing machine

Is a temptress that often seems keen

On increasing our spending. => GET SMB TO DO SMTH

My balance needs mending!

Oh, what has become of my green?

2. Jesse Frankovich:

The more of my money I bet,

The more in return I shall net!

But, of course, should I lose, => IF….

I’ll be singing the blues

As each bet, I regret, becomes debt. => HAVE TO

3. Rebecca Zugor:

My credit card spending is vast –

Not sure how much longer I’ll last.

To help pay these bills

Leave me lots in your wills. => GET SMB TO DO SMTH

I need cash in a flash, please die fast!
