If you think that noone cares.
Bill collectors call, then I swear.
Try missing a few payments.

In debt to the moment,
invoice inscribed…
tomorrow defaulting,
old debits a lie

The hour upon us
whose present awaits,
all payments in cash
—forever rebates

My hip is getting better since I broke it back in March.
The doctors say I'll be working again soon.
I'm behind in all my payments and I'm almost out of cash.
Not to worry I'll be on my feet in June....

The first house I bought was twelve thousand bucks
It was just short of a mansion, today no such luck
Payments are grand
Now mouth to hand
Well you know that old saying, “don't give a truck!”...

Falls to the wind
Shedding our debts
Final payments met
these last pounds of flesh
Slidding like a snake
From under, sharp rocks
Refurbished, renewed
Lilly white with anticipation
New sun, new skin
New days, begin...

I want to own my home
But the mortgage is too high
I want that great job
But there's no applications to apply
I want that new fancy car
But the payments just can't be done
So I'll settle for my wonderful husband
And my three terrific sons...

Divorcing the Muse,
  her property demands were high

The alimony my insight,
  leaving me speechless, high and dry

Once the papers were signed,
  it was the last I was to write

Visitation denied

Slice To Suffice

No matter how it is cut or you want to slice,
There was never enough that would suffice;
We can wait,
Then motivate,
So created many more ways that will entice.

A perpetuity is an annuity that 
has no end, or a stream of cash 
payments that continues forever.

It began in innocence
Wooed, enticed by promises
Look what could be bought and spent
Plastic dollars, plastic cents.

Lured into it's tangled trap
Habits form, the will grows slack
On and on it ever goes
Statements come and payments grow.

Like a millstone round the neck
Debtor's hell, life is spent....

Basically, this is a number
Adding too much to the
Zillions or gazillions of ... wait ... what exactly
Is it we're adding here? ... might be
Like the national debt or a
Little centipede counting ... hmm, or
Interest payments never to be made
On a war that will
Never end or are we just
Seeking sanctuary in a bazillion words?...

highest interest payments
for all is for time
some born free some with the bill

so what is this life
for some all that is touched gold
the power of the plough died

life had not been kind their land
arid accepted them both

Jaded Envy Green



Envy drips from  mouths of greed
Grows the plant hostility
Actions in shade plotted pest
Feed the drips of hungers quest

Take what you want leave nothing
Nothing being what you bring
Best defense is no conscience 
Payments made not your expense

My first morning task, if you’re like me –
and I don’t see why you wouldn’t be –
is to empty and lighten my body
of all I ate at last night’s Pig Out party –
all expensive food and drink with it
paid for with a plastic card of credit –
and this morning all flushed down
with a sense of remorse and a frown,
with a year or more of future statements
reminding me of monthly payments....

Boys whose, curlews virtues
my, my, my
And girls superb views
Transverse views virtues
Firms whose diverse views
Oh, no
Term used to sell venues
Pay dues to entrepreneurs whose of work crews
…defuse
What do you know, Oh, my
Clerks whose payments of church dues
Not nearly a down payment on those church pews
Now you see
Wooh is Me

The Quiet Night

The quiet night belongs to everyone,                                                                                       No payments are required.

Anyone might have 
what you need if she's 
choice in your eye.

She can be big or small
provided she has 
the substance and form

that appeal to you 
in your mountain chalet.
You’re happy although

no one knows why 
but you’re willing to pay 
a price that once meant 

payments for life.
You'd take a vow that 
once meant forever.

Now if it doesn't work,
you can take a mulligan
and look for another.
