New Credit Card

The bank did not apologize
When sending my new card.
They hoped I’d understand
That fighting fraud is very hard.

But “compromises did occur”
At “merchants undisclosed,”
So brand-new cards were issued
To secure things, I supposed.

Instead of being grateful, though,
I’m very much annoyed.
My automatic payments now
Will soon be null and void.

I’ll have to contact E-Z Pass
And Shutterfly, as well.
My MetroCard won’t add more fares
Unless this news I tell.

This happens several times a year;
The system seems to crash.
Perhaps I should look to the past
And pay this all in cash!
