If It Isn't One Thing...

...it's another. It seems like trying to get ahead isn't really worth it. For example, our refrigerator died. Mike gets a bonus twice a year, for now. I always have that money spent long before he actually receives it. I just want to get some bills paid off. I just want to get caught up. Seems though, that every time I get the chance, something else comes up and pushes the getting caught up part further back. So, here we are spending the already spent bonus on a new refrigerator. And why in the heck does the color "bisque" cost more? It's the ugliest color, I think. Unfortunately, all of our kitchen appliances are "bisque". Really, it's just a nicer way of saying "off-white".

I guess I might as well just accept that I will always have debt. There's really no way around it, unless of course, we win the lottery. The only problem is, we don't play the lottery. I need those few extra bucks (that lottery tickets cost) for the food to go in the new bisque refrigerator. Figures!

With you,
no debt I see.
Promises to pay
have leans against thee.

Those leans are small,
in comparison
to your valuables
or family garrison

"Coca Cola!",
your kitchen may scream
but Value is what
your home will gleam

A time when come
when it all too much
you'll be handing out money
old trinkets and such

Don't worry about then
or the path to come
make some time for yourself
and a loved one

Let me finish this
in true Derrick fashion:
I hate money
poems and such are stupid too.
