PAYDAY TODAY

payday-bills = ???? just funnin wit ya...this was meant to just be a light look at a serious subject

Paying the bills

is hardly a thrill

cause I can't connect

with writing checks

 

it makes it too clear

as it all dissapears

that Im living like heck

from pay to paycheck

 

I try using the cards

but it's just  too hard

cause they still come due

and the deposits too few

 

and it all comes down

unwinds, unwound

that I must make more pay

to live today

 

maybe I'll find

as payday unwinds

a tad or two

to get me through

 

so that I can eat

and kitties keep

till the bi-weekly mix

of my permanant fix

Bills suck.

[Helen Woodward]

The curse!! Credit cards...NEVER get one of those and if you have one cut it into a thousand pieces (that would be difficult, make it 50 pieces) Bad, evil even...I feel that you are trying too hard to rhyme and that is interfering with your wordplay, try prose? You may find it easier.
Cheers,
Helen :-)

Bills, bills, wonderful bills, what more could we ask for...

[Leo Gems]

Bills.. are evil!!!! It is so true that at times your paycheck is already gone before it hits the bank!
A wonderful piece that reflects many people today.

Life ink!! Nice!!

[Reggie]

Oh so true!! I know the feeling. I like your take on the facts of life and put them in stories and poems.

I can relate to this piece. I loved the work. Nice flow.

[Ray Hamilton]

I can sure relate to this
There always seems to be too much month left at the end of the money
Thanks for sharing

I like the content and ideas, but to be honest, this is not up to your stellar performance. Its somewhat choppy. It reminds me of running down the Capitol steps in Albany. They're wide but only 5" high. It doesn't take too long before you feel like there's something missing. If I was the Governor of NY, I'd have a Senator at each landing, calling cadence. Pork is a great greaser.
