Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28th June, 2018

28th June, 2018.

Hmmm … 

Money, money, money … 

Right at the moment … ?

I’m on Universal Credit, as you may or may not know.

Not much: but usually enough to help with the rent.

Even then, I’m begging, borrowing and stealing from anyone that’ll let me have money.

It’s a variable amount: the more I earn, the less I get in benefit.

Of course, if it’s a long month, where there’s — effectively — five paydays?

As there’s been for me, this month … ?

That counts as ‘the more I earn.’

Right at the moment … ?

I’m looking at a very tight month …

From City, by Clifford D. Simak.
