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

<\/p>\n
