L Milton Hankins Poet Footle

In Arrears

Mom mad
Dad sad

Cat spat
Yes, that!

Money’s tight
Dire plight

Work slow
Bills flow

In arrears
Dun appears

Extended date
Payment late

Credit score
Very poor

Anselmo Boles February 27, 2022 at 1:53 PM True-to-life and funny Milt! I enjoyed it...ab L Milton Hankins February 27, 2022 at 2:37 PM Just doodling, Anselmo. I'm not a big fan of footles, but these just popped into my vacuous head!
