A Debtor's Iou

When in life, what's been borrowed come's due.
Feel blessed if you get an iou.
Just a little more time.
When you ain't got a dime.
And you can keep the ten in your shoe.

Wonderfully done, and so very true, Robert. I'm slow getting back to you, I'm sorry. A ten plus interest in my shoe. Hugs, Mikki
