Step aside, I say, I do not want an unexpected visitor today.
Don't just stand there glaring, I want you out of my way.
You stopped in unexpected; even though I knew you might come.
I know your interest has been neglected; but you make me feel like a bum.
It gives me a great feeling to whip your face from my wallet, and pass it around.
But, dam you, everyone takes it for only a second; then arrogantly lays it down.
I place you back into your stately position, then quickly walk away.
I should have left you locked within your chamber; there you should stay.
The postman is approaching, I dread to see what he brings.
I get my pay check on Friday, and you are going to demand all of my greens.
I'll write out a check and return it for you.
But, I detest the giving. The world knows I do.
Oft times you have brought me such pleasure.
Your keeping I have many times thought it a treasure.
But today I have encountered such a plight.
And it is all because of you. Yeah, that's right.
Because of your unexpected visit, I'm looking at bankruptcy you see.
Cause the credit card creditors have come to handcuff me.

Poetry: Unexpected visitor
The visitor welcomed me with a wooden embrace, a smile permanent upon his unhappy face.
I was simply tidying the back room,
He's My Rock...
Jesus is my strength and my rock.
He is my rock who strengthens my every day walk.
He is my rock where

Your Door
There's a wolf at your door, let him in,
There's a wolf at your door, let him in,
You’ve heard him howl
Cursing the calm splendor of that old oak tree.
A book of poetry upon his right knee.
A spring breeze singing so softly.
Tears
i never should have
killed you
especially after i
could feel you
kick
it makes me sick
to think what i've done
to my own dear
