Overshot Budget lament

Once again I goofed up,
What I was to save I blew up.
On what you may well ask,
Well travelling was the main evil cause.
Autos and taxis and buses even
Ate away even my pocket linen.
This month's budget is shot
Rains why do you cause such havoc?
Traffic snarls and feverish cold
Add a spendthrift and voila! A budget hole.

All I can hope for is loads of paper correction
For library fees are out, so what do I do for entertainment?
To think that I felt 3000 was a big enough amount
And then exceeded it before the month was out!
Next month will see my kanjoosigiri's new heights
But hopefully, the very next month I can buy what I sight.

Oh! for sticking to the budget
Don't SMS or talk on the cell so much.
Stay away from Baristas and Mac's
And meet friends at each other's homes.
Do not go book hunting with your pockets full
And do NOT reward students howmuchever they struggle.
And NEVER, never go to your college on teacher's day
Those self made cards and the small treats, they all eat into your pay.
Oh! and don't ever fall ill
The worse of the lot is the doctor's bill.

Yet, I cannot regret my spendthrift ways
I know I will pen similar sagas till doomsday.
The paraphrased lines of an advert that I like best
The moment's pleasure - "priceless."

- Well, exaggerated a bit. i can manage the money but I am still annoyed with myself for overshooting my budget. And I had actually increased it for this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Well you live and I don't learn :))))))))))))))))
