In large firm with many accounts
Some customers owe large amounts
Some people shrug about their debts
And hope the world will just forget
I always like to pay my way
Don't say I'll pay another day
I like to see numbers look neat
And that I stand on my own feet
So often when the urge has gone
It's time to pass old craftwork on
Give ski boots, lilos, high heeled shoes
Gain a wheelchair, what good news
But I have learned don't lend nor borrow
Owing money brings you sorrow
If you give someone what they lack
Earn kudos, don't expect it back
In our street we have a whatsApp
People say what they'll give away
A useful way to clear your clutter
If you don't earn it doesn't matter
We clear out old baby clothes
And each year kids want different toys
Get rid of things which you can't sell
Musical toys which just make noise
Put surplus apples in a box
Make pairs of puppets from odd socks
Donate a bench to view the docks
On an old t-shirt paint a fox
So much to do now I'm retired
I wake each day with ideas fired
Recycle paper, in its place
An empty box makes a crayon case.
.
We give somebody what they lack
We don't earn, but we don't pay tax
Just drop it round, no need to pack
Friends give to us - and we give back.
