DUE BILL

Sleeping thoughts lie beyond
accustomed actions, hoping for faith
in line on August eighth
a sure-fire method looking down
a week or two without a sound
and principals staked in the ground

Poorhouse door opens often
inviting me again inside
an' I have no choice but to ride
with bald tires with lack of friction
carpooling with others with the same affliction
we should, as a matter of fact, be a matter of fiction

Maybe I'll just call and grovel
for the thirty-second time
and promise they'll get my final dime
in a couple of days when I get paid
by the certain guest that shouldn't have stayed
well, maybe next year I'll have it made
