My credit rating is suffering from collateral damage.

Will you be looking at dollar signs this Christmas?
Or giving hugs to your children.
Giving them your time,
Or working to pay off presents,
They never asked for and don't need.
Will you be checking on up on your neighbors?
Instead of your credit rating.
Blowing up balloons,
Instead of the family budget,
Before the turkey is bought.
Will your hands be open this Christmas?
Or ready to form a fist.
Will your Ho Ho Ho,
Be up able to fool them,
At 1 in the morning in the dark.
Will you humor me?
To look in the mirror,
Before the children spray it over,
In pure white,
Unaware of your secret torment.
I'm in love with Juanita
From El Paso country song ...
Kiss me stronger, senorita,
Make my memories be gone.
To forget the northern beauty,
Who's cold heart is made of stone,
Kiss me stronger, Spanish cutie,
Give me love I missed so long.
Brown eyes so warm and tender,
Margaritaville from blender
Makes it easy to surrender,
Borrowing love from lovely lender.
Do not check my credit rating,
- I am all anticipating ...
Give me love that I am awaiting,
Make my loneliness abating!
Rambling rose from Spanish garden,
Do not let my heart to harden.
Harden only what can please,
- I am down on my knees.
I'm in love with Juanita
From El Paso country song ...
Kiss me stronger, senorita,
Make my memories be gone.
I DID WHAT!!!!
I voted liberal in the year of two thousand eight
Tired of George, my thinking wasn't that great
Now I realize as I see my country choking
I say to myself, Vince, what were you smoking
I voted liberal, the dumbest thing I've done yet
It took fourteen trillion before they knew they were in debt
They stole the entire United States treasury from me and from you
And from our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren too.
The spending is done at a rate that's insane
They shoved our credit rating right down the drain
The media hasn't complained about four dollars for gas
Vince, you must have had your head up your (guess)
I voted for change. I believed all those lies
We got change. I couldn't believe my eyes
I'm watching the death of the American Eagle
Guess I'll say a prayer while it's still legal
Lending Money to Relatives
By Elton Camp
Most every family, of bums, has one or two
He’s in a tight and doesn’t know what to do
“I really hate to ask to borrow some dough.
I promise that I’ll promptly repay, though.”
He asks because his credit rating is near zero
Hopes it will be hard to refuse one you know
“Even though you might not lend to another,
You surely can’t refuse to help your brother.”
What he hopes for may well come to be so
To one’s own relative it is hard to say no
Actually the loan to repay isn’t his intention
What you lent, he will never again mention
He will waste your money with great delight
As if to your hard-earned funds he has a right
That he will permanently avoid you, never fear
When funds run low, he will again come near
So if your money you want to be certain to lose
To lend to a relative is what you should choose
Job Seekers, Expect a Close Look
By Elton Camp
Employers now can be highly selective
To investigate they won’t use a detective
However, it certainly is a pretty good bet
They will check applicants on the Internet
If on some website you are known to rave
It shows how as an employee you’ll behave
The e-mail address of Wildboy@yahoo.com
Will make almost anyone think you’re a bum
Arrest records you are no longer able to hide
It’d be a whole lot better if you hadn’t tried
A potential employee with bad credit rating
Is certain to be the fellow they’ll be hating
If from a bogus college you claim a degree
The facts about the place are right there to see
Before you apply, make sure a Google search
Won’t end up by leaving you in the lurch
LOOKING AT MY SPAM
A guy with a busy-life like me has everything he could want, right at fingertips:
I can “stop snoring with a dentist-designed mouthpiece”
And can pay for it, after I “check my credit rating on line”.
Everyone I know should offer me “Congratulations” [ because I ]
“have been chosen to join the National Association of Professional Wrestlers”.
On the other hand my interests may lean towards the aesthetic:
And I could “learn at the University of Phoenix” until they award me
“the Degree on-line of beautician and cosmetologist”.
As consolation, I "can also obtain 70% off all [my] Viagra needs” -
Never knew, but older guys tell me it’s a drug to help ‘their health’.
Finally if the drugs and education can’t help, I can pursue
“Lawsuits for serious injury and compo” with those well-known
Ambulance chasers, Messrs. Ripoff, Fleecem & Grabbit.
Maybe writing a poem about reading spam is itself a symptom
Of my empty life. . . . . . . . . I really gotta get out more.
Moody's in the mood to short sell
Congress's word to someday pay
sounds harsh but might be as well
political kids spoilin' just to play
forget the lunch, can't break-the-fast
for some, free is freedom to turn away
ignore basic facts, easier to lambaste
opponents and leave tomorrow in disarray
empty rhetoric is taxing my patience
'stead of taxing our monied ability
planking on opinion without complaisance
cliff leap before compromise with civility
chaotic lurching of well-oiled-machine
still with fits and spurts it grinds on
how democracy runs, is anything but clean
gentlemen statesmen's days are long gone
if ever there were, a whole other debate
with contemplative points to be sure
the pros and cons can't always equate
political work is anything but demure

review
The debt soars through the ceiling
Future generations we are billing
The politicians are not dealing
With ire there constituents distilling
The stock market is reeling
The financiers are peeling
Credit bureaus are squealing
Our good credit rating milling
