Poem Title:
Poem
A frown 'pon his face_ bills, bills, into file thirteen As she cleans, empties the trash The unopened letter catches her eye She pulls it out, with the letter opener rips it apart. He has flown the coup, racing in his new sports car She reads the letter_last notice_life insurance one-half million will lapse today at 6 P.M. He goes way to fast down a steep incline, speed and adventure his design At speeds in excess of 110 MPH__He races onward to the mountain pass She calls the bank to check on their accounts_he has spent all and has overdrafts At top speeds he reaches the summit, longing for one more thrill Just trying his sports car out She Checks the savings account, CD's that she had put away Nothing_all gone The only money available was what she had earned that day Tip money.. Counting out fives, ones, and change..Just enough for the premium Rushes to the bank, just a few minutes to spare He Loves adventure, thrills are divine Foot pushing the accelerator to the floor as down the mount he flies She Rings the insurance company. The money is there for you to withdraw the right amount Now covered_she can relax for another short while He Faster and faster he goes This car handles like a dream Round each curve and S bend makes him beam Then close to the end of his flight of thrills Someone driving so slow_He hits the brake_ None to be felt, he maneuvers around _face to face with tractor-trailer As they pull the crumpled car from under the Peterbilt_ In his dying stupor is heard to say well she won't get any insurance 2-7-14
