Large humorous haunter school fees drums
With its feisty nails on my skull.
Extravagantly dressed rent bills stand
Threatening to pierce ejection sword in my heart
Light bill maniachically taunts with thoughts of darkness
Water bill with its compiled many zeroes sit still, peeping in my vision
Making me watch a video of no drinking, no washing, no bathing, no cooking and no gardening
What could be worse?
Expensive monthly subscription of decoders remind me with a chuckle of no mercy when the time is due
This miserly salary emphatically says “How I come is how I’ll always come”
So, you, health bill, you can threaten all you want
I’d rather let the scary sickness take me
Than yield to your nasty scare.
