Enemies of the Sonnet Man- the Bill Collector

The Bill Collector has surprising speed,
Especially when I refuse to pay,
Taking away everything I need
To get me through the month, week, and the day.
Who needs gas when I can cook with fire,
Since the amount that I pay for matches
Could not possibly get any higher,
But can always be purchased in batches.
With no "net," I would have more time to kill,
And I can do without a telephone,
But, in order to pay the cable bill,
I may have to sell blood or sell a bone.
       I really need to develop a plan,
       Before The Bill Collector strikes again.
