Bills

Up again same routine laboring versatile 
  occupations a bill came in.

  
  Home at ten debt due tomorrow so I ask
  friends for dividends.

  
  No food in the kitchen cheap detergent is 
  the reason I think we are itching.

  
   Stomachs on low we consume frozen Kool-
   aide as we turn on the radio.

   
   Payday is here bills all paid atmosphere is
   clear and late fees stopped.

   
   Up again same routine another bill came in.
