The Broken Piggy Bank

The broken piggy bank strewn into a bajillion little pieces Unexpected largesse yours truly patiently waits, a metaphor of my dire financial straits courtesy papa's unsuspecting muse the missus, this wordsmith notates unwittingly linkedin to his misfortune, a situation he hates, especially, an unavoidable crisis, whereby passage of time abates negligible onus of penury. Soon after surrendering (viz laundering) cash to bitcoin immediately realized sinister trap scammer prepared me to enjoin egregious outcome surpassing severe case of acne treatment courtesy isotretinoin. My ordinarily clear complexion turned wan imprecation triggered suicidal ideation overdosing on medication escape from absolute zero vanished capital pennilessness bondage welcoming self induced mortality did spawn. Though weeks elapsed since scammer (smoked top of line cigars, and/or quaffed vintage amber liquid of the gods signaling snagging a poor sucker) made out like a bandit, the squandered money I still bemoan, a grown man doth still groan moroseness seeps within his lovely bones witnessing him curling into fetal position versus lying prone forever and anon envisioning himself cast into the outer limits of the twilight zone.
