Stewardship

(This appeared in the Along the Navajo Trail bulletin from October 1970)

I bought gasoline, I went to the show;

I bought some new tubes for my radio;

I bought candy and peanuts, nut bars and ice cream;

With my salary lasted, life sure was a scream!

It takes careful spending to make money go round;

One's methods of finance must always be sound.

With habits quite costly, its real hard to save;

My wife spent ten "bucks" on a permanent wave.

The church came round begging. It sure made me sore!

If they's let me alone, I'd give a lot more.

They have plenty of nerve! They forget all the past!

I gave them a dollar the year before last!
