This is Why You Need an Emergency Fund
Once a week at 3:00 AM, there is a secret meeting.
The car, the fridge, the stove, the cat,
The roof, the sinks, the thermostat,
All give the secret greeting:
“Down, down,
We break down
At just the perfect moment.
We meet to scheme,
To our owners bring
The utmost trial and torment.”
Every appliance, machine,
Animal and thing,
That you have in your life,
Will here attend
To plan to send
To you the greatest strife.
TV No. 2: “What if we have the cat get sick…..”
Dishwasher: “And the roof to start to leak?”
Roof: “The fridge quit…..”
DVD Player No.1: “The foundation split…..”
Car: “And all this in one week?”
Central A/C: “No, no, if you recall, we did all that last year.”
Toilet Bowl: “If we repeat, then our deceit might to them be clear.”
Hamster: “Could we, perhaps, have the car, mayhaps, run into the cat?”
Cat: “No, we can’t because I ain’t willing to do that!”
They hash it out
And thrash it out
And write it on a chart.
THE OVEN SMOKES.
THE SEWER CHOKES.
THE DRYER SHOOTS OUT SPARKS.
THE LAWNMOWER QUITS.
THE HAMSTER GETS SICK
WITH A MURMUR IN HIS HEART.
Just before sunrise
They all arise
To end the weekly meeting.
TV No.1: “Good work tonight!”
Fridge: “Good plan! Just right!”
Central A/C: “Let’s close with the secret greeting.”
“Down, down,
We break down
At just the perfect moment.
We meet to scheme,
To our owners bring
The utmost trial and torment.”
Here you are thinking that if you can just make it to 2020 without any new problems, then you will be alright. 2020? There are 5 major disasters already planned for next week!
