Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Hate Utility Companies

Utility companies are unforgiving. 
Relentless.
Mean.
Money-grubbing.
Nasty.
Then they add taxes.

Dirty coal tax.
Tuesday wash day tax.
Dog scratching tax.
Garbage day tax.

Always adding to your bill.
Never letting up.
I hate utility companies.
Others do too.

But can we eliminate them?
Apparently not.

Caren Krutsinger January 9, 2019 at 1:08 AM I wish we could figure out a way to make things affordable.

Andrea Dietrich January 8, 2019 at 9:39 PM I love your straightforward style and humor. This is such a good example of it. Caren Krutsinger January 8, 2019 at 9:39 PM I am brutally honest almost always. If I am lying it means I do not either like you or trust you.

Maurice Rigoler January 8, 2019 at 8:11 PM The only utility I pay out of my pocket is the telephone (and the internet), and it's affordable, though I sometimes use threats to drop the service when they up the charges for no good reason. Don't let them get you down, they do do a service, you know. / M Caren Krutsinger January 8, 2019 at 9:40 PM We have what is called the DIRTY COAL tax in Kansas. Electricity costs us $700 a month average here, which means I will never retire. They will take me out in a body bag.

Kim Rodrigues January 8, 2019 at 1:05 PM Tell me what you really think...lol! Caren Krutsinger January 8, 2019 at 9:41 PM I tried to hold back but have you met Trixie?

Jim Yerman January 8, 2019 at 4:59 AM Amen sister! Caren Krutsinger January 8, 2019 at 9:43 PM I love it when I get this kind of a reaction. Everyone is on my side!

Tom Cunningham January 8, 2019 at 4:53 AM A necessary evil, but they're profit driven, money money money. Caren Krutsinger January 8, 2019 at 9:44 PM Money Money Money - this world is so crazy for it.

Mystic Rose Rose January 8, 2019 at 4:46 AM The government always wants a piece of our hard earned money. Greed indeed Caren, Hope your heart stays happy despite all this, Love Caren Krutsinger January 8, 2019 at 9:45 PM Thank God I successfully eliminated all of the potential jobs I did not like, and found one that I love as I will have to keep a paying them for 36 more years as I plan to die at 93.
