Strange Isn't It

I take small round pieces of metal
and thin sheets of printed plastic in an exchange for items.
I also take promises of reimbursement 
which are transactions confirmed by a computer
which talks to another computer down the wires
to check
just to make sure 
this reimbursement has occurred 
in exchange for a number of items.
 
This reimbursement and exchange is mainly for the promise 
and reassurance of the delivery of a certain type of special liquid with magical powers!
This special liquid
which after being discovered underground 
is pumped up
then fiddled about with
pushed and pulled
sent through a pipe
stuffed into a tanker
dropped into a small tank
precisely measured
into another smaller tank
inside your mainly metal device with comfortable seats 
the one you use for moving around and travelling long distances in
where, it's then able to help your device go long distances
with you on the comfortable seats
These devices love to eat this special liquid!

sometimes the round pieces of metal
and thin sheets of printed plastic and so on
are exchanged for portions of a hot brown liquid in a waterproof paper container with a plastic lid
or brown slabs of fat, sugar and other stuff combined 
which is also then wrapped plastic 
or thinly sliced, fried and flavoured pieces of potato which come in a plastic bag.

Certain people
people who are a special age and who come at a special time
can exchange these round pieces of metal and thin sheets of printed plastic and so on
for other magical liquids!
If you pour too much of this particular magical liquid down your throat
then first you might fall over
then you might get thrown out of somewhere
but always you will wake up with a thumping feeling coming from within your head

The people who come and exchange these round pieces of metal and thin sheets of printed plastic and so on
generally seem happy to perform the transaction 
only sometimes are they unhappy about it
complaining about the amount of round pieces of metal and thin sheets of printed plastic and so on they had to forfeit in the exchange.
Strange isn't it!?
