variation on the 23rd Psalm

This is tongue in cheek, but in my job I do training sessions about debt and I have come across this variation of the 23rd psalm, (the Lords My Shepherd)

The credit card is my shepherd; I always want

It makes me live in the land of not enough....it leads me into debt

It leads me in the path of pressure and worry

Yes even if I walk through the valley of shops, I will fear no price, for my credit card is with me.

My mastercard and visa will comfort me.

It prepares the table before me of goods I cannot resist in the presence of my family and friends. It anoints me with boldness to buy things I cannot afford.

My debt runs over.

Surely worry and debt shall follow me all the days of my life.

I will dwell in the house owned by the bank for ever.

    Oh sorry, I misread and thought you had written it! Hence the 'were you bored' question. :o
