I lost another friend to the recession.

He just came in and said goodbye.

Just like that. No tears. No smiles.

Waltzed right out the door after that.

I hate this bloody recession.

I've no more friends. And no more money to buy friends.

There's one dollar in my pocket.

And an outstanding of a thousand against my name.

I can't ask my friend for money.

He just got fired and I don't know where he is.

I hate this bloody recession.
