The bank offers an attractive interest rate <br />But charges for a counter check <br />Nickel and dime. <br />The airline offers an attractive fare <br />But charges when you check your bag <br />Nickel and dime. <br />We live in a time of nickel and dime <br />Where the only safety you could even begin to find <br />Is a struggle with an inner monster deep within <br />That helps avoid a place called sin.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nickel-and-dime/
