Pre-Approved
Living the dream

I got approved for a mortgage
I bought a property
I renovated the bathrooms
I furnished every corner of the house
Put it on my card
I wanted the yard to look better
I couldn't find a landscaper on short notice
I figured it couldn't be too hard to do it myself
I bought flowers, fertilizer, tools, a lawnmower
I ordered a shed to store everything
Put it on my card
I invited some friends over
I didn't have time to do more than mow the grass
I fired up the barbecue on the Friday night
I made appetizers, dinner, and ordered in dessert
I realized we didn't have enough booze
Put it on my card
I got my first bills in the mail
I transferred the minimum payment
I went out to the movies
It wasn't until grabbing groceries
That my card got declined
But I had another in my wallet
So please, just
Put it on my card
