Poem of the Month
MY LIFE DEBT FREE
I taste a debt solution brewed from debt problems I never knew. All the debt I had truly made me blue.
The air of life can cause general overspending– but with an IVA debt problems can have a happy ending.
When "Landlords" turn the electricity off I can turn to The UK Insolvency Helpline who see the devil off. The Foxglove's door.
When Butterflies – renounce their "drams" I shall but debt free once more!
Till my benefits come in on a monthly trounce.
And Saints – to windows run to see the Tippler.
Leaning against the – Sun!
by Andre Lerouche (Stratford-Upon-Avon)
