Mortgaged Grinch – A Poem

All the bankers & granters loved sending bills out a whole lot
But the Hugo of Hugoville most certainly did not!
He hated all the envelopes specially at near Christmas Season!
Be sure to not ask why cause y’all know the reason.
Every turn at his ledger a reminder of how the budget was tight
so every turn to the mail box often kept him up all night.
The bills they kept coming from far, from the front and the side
They came from the company that used to be Countrywide.
The bill for Insurance
The bill from the Mechanic
The bill from the Doctor
who’d warn us not to panic.
The bill for the REALTOR dues
The bill from the house lights
The bill from the Optometrist
for the kid with questionable eye sights.
The bill for the house Taxes
The bill for iTunes
The bill from FarmFreshtoYou
they delivered us prunes.
The bill for the dogs
well actually their vet
The bill for the Violin rental
the boy hasn’t touched yet.
Bill from all places
they sent them in kind.
Even Victoria’s Secret
Though that I don’t mind.
So the kids may forgo some holiday squeals
cause we may have to forgo gifting them fancy wheels.
No floofloovers, no tartookas.
No whohoopers. No gardookas.
No trumtookas. No slooslunkas.
No blumbloopas. No whowonkas.
But don’t you despair, don’t sad-smiley face, don’t plead
The Hugo of Hugoville is quite smart indeed.
He may not like bill notes this time of year
but reserves are a plenty so we’re in the clear.
This holiday is much grand it always out-stands me
Next Torres Christmas may be brought to you by GoFundMe
.
So welcome Christmas may it bring you much cheer,

Merriment to you all the far and the near.
