Excellent Mr.D.!! It still amazes me as to just how clever you are to be able to put to rhyme,virtually anything you want. Such talent.....and it always puts a 😃smile on our faces too! The medical profession should employ you and your daily rhymes,as part of their treatment!!! It works far better than any pill I've got,lol 💊!!!!
Never noticed that before either! How clever...Thanks!
🤓 This one came about when I witnessed a poor woman’s predicament a couple of weeks ago. She gave the cashier the wrong pump number and had paid for somebody else’s fuel before she realised her mistake. Neither had cash and it took ages to sort out the card transactions. A huge queue had formed and the poor woman was in tears of embarrassment. Just a little mistake, such painful consequences. How different from years ago when you kept sat in your car and just said “Fill ‘er up” whilst they checked your tyres, oil, water and cleaned you windscreen.
Another brilliant ode, Don. You have a real knack for summing up life's problems in rhyme. As far as this one goes - been there and done that, fortunately only the one where I forgot which side of the car the petrol cap was... Not yet put petrol into a diesel vehicle, but never say never!
Hi Mr Don! Just called my sister and read her your poem! She just got a new car, pulled up to the pumps and she had to get out and look! Then she turned her car around, making her boarder pump the gas! She said "Tell him to write a poem about messing up check books!" LOL Great Poem always Mr Don! Janet127
Thank you Janet 😄. They are trying to do away with cheque books over here. Quite a few places won't accept then any more. Perhaps a poem about the cheque books funeral some time.
Sounds Great! They are doing away with them here too! But, I FINALLY got her to use one last year! She is 71 and always used money orders! Finally talked her into checks ! She keeps telling me she Doesn't make Deposits! I said ..Social Security makes them for you! Well that isn't me! LOL I will work on that with her now! Thanks Mr Don!
Where I lived previously (until six years ago) there was a village about 20 minutes away where the guy would still put the fuel in the car and I could pay by cheque. I haven't driven for over a year now and I'm glad, because I used to find the whole thing so stressful, not least putting fuel in the car. Thanks for the poem, it made me smile 👍
I have to admit that when you are in a hurry and the system works as it should, especially if you use a card at the pump to save visiting the cashier, the system works very well and is over very quickly. But getting something wrong, which is so easy to do when your mind is dominated by old age or ill health, it can be a disaster.
We are still given a choice at most places, Cas, but others don't even have an 'office', everything is done at the pump. I still pay with cash being an old fuddy-duddy. 😘
