Plastic Endeavors

I took a ride that was more like a slide
Down a track called the credit card way
It had no stops and I couldn't get off
But they demanded I pay and pay

My pass was a card that now lay in shards
Beneath my passenger seat
I don't need them now 'cause the statements allow
Me to see what I owe them complete

My phone is their bell and they're calling from hell
I can see on my caller ID
I pretend I'm not home and don't answer the phone
So they'll just leave a message for me

I fully intend to make repremand
And pay everything that I owe
I just hope they can see that coming from me
The process will be kind of slow

You have a great talent - love the rhyme within the line, it's not that easy to do but this is just great!

them bastards are gettin' slick these days too. They are putting bogus callback #'s on the I.D. They are finding States which we are connected to somehow...and posing to be "friends' from way back. It's CrazY! Nice write
