The bill is what scares me the most, Gerard. Very nice dark humor in your entry. There were many great entries and it was hard ranking them as each one gave me a laugh. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

Hello Gerard! Very clever and true, i see how you can compare the both, and still come out with a bill. Enjoyed your poem, have a nice one,..p.d.
