poking, prodding, pricking skin
neurologist a psychopath
gets pleasure as electric volts pass through my body

family doctor showed little concern
made me paranoid about irregular heartbeat
EKG failed to determine cause
left me more in doubt than at ease

dentist like a character from Dustin Hoffman’s...

The bill arrives; I give a glance
And if it seems correct,
I grab my checkbook, write one out,
The same as you’d expect.

I pop it in the envelope
And choose a proper stamp;

“Pay what you owe...

A prescription for medicinal pills
  -  the pills were applied
  -  but I about died
When I had received his pill bills!...

Bills, bills, head busting bills
Checked the drug store, ain't no bill pills
Got pills for aches
Got pills for weight
Think I'll just go out and pick daffodils

Watching a Buffalo Bills game Last night.
I was shocked to see a player down!
Lying on his back, to our surprise!
 We hoped, You get up from the ground.

 As you were fighting for your life.
As the Nation prayed for...

Here I sit, uncertain of what lies ahead.

I once had a job that provided a sense of “security.”
Now I don’t…  And I have a lot of uncertainty!

I have unpaid bills, and I’m not sure what to...

Hey! you dudes on Capital Hill
Do you pay for your own bills

No frills airlines will get your money
My fair means or by foul
This may mean them charging you
If you need a paper towel
Or if decompression occurs
And the oxygen mask is hanging there
You will have to put a pound coin in
Before it dispenses any air...

Infrequent quarters sink toward the depths of desolate sweaty palms  
Glum thought manufactured from the mind merge with my palm’s pond 
I clinch my hand draining sweat, for those required quarters mustn’t be lost
I got bills to pay 

Pride forbids me from parental based...

I reckon that one of life's least enthrallin' thrills,
Is facin' the seemin'ly insurmountable mound of bills,
Hopin' in the shrinkin' checkin' account there's enough,
To skirt financial scandal and pay for all that stuff!

I reviewed the 'lectric bill and received a painful shock!
They raised the rates again,...

My ex wife gave to me
Two weeks to leave
and a card from her new attorney

On the third day of x-mas
my ex wife gave to me
Three...
