Deadbeat Christmas

Written By Lisa Morris

You are such a deadbeat now
Not much of a chooser
Cause you cannot pay your bills
That makes you a loser

If you don't give us a call
We will disconnect you
You can beg and plead to us
But we'll never hear you

Once we repossess your car
Then we'll take your T.V.
Pots and pans and microwave
Broke is what you will be

Standing naked in the snow
Begging us for mercy
Pay us all the cash you owe
That will set your spirit free

We will take your credit cards
We'll reject your bank loan
Good-bye to your AOL
Cause you have no dial tone

Once evicted from your home
In the snow you'll make tracks
Living in a pop-up tent
In the Adirondacks

Bang your head against the wall
Cause you just can't take it
You are heading for a fall
You will never make it

It will do no good to fight
Go ahead and cuss us
Your life will be misery
Have a deadbeat Christmas

Author notes

If you think your life is bad look at this girl's life. This is my ex sister in law and all this stuff really happened to her. But then again she deserved it.

    This is a really good poem but this isn't an acrostic and that's the only type this contest is for.

    Thanks for going to the trouble of posting but there's no way it can win this contestbecause of the type it is. I'm sorry. I hope you watch for more of my contests coming up soon. Cathy

    First of all the red writing on black background is kinda hard on the eyes. Second, this doesn't always flow. Other than that this poem is pretty good.
