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.
