All Of My Creditors Want To Get Paid

This just dawned on me,
During a coincidental occurrence.
While during my daily walk.
And...
As is my custom,
Minding my own business.
I processed this while thinking...
How the words 'maybe' and 'if'...
Are interpretations of 'yes'.

Think about it!
How many times have you uttered,
Either a 'maybe' or 'if'?
To something you were prepared to say 'no' to.
And you believed yourself to have full consciousness.

'Gee...
I wish I could,
But...'

~Oh...
So you are saying,
You'd like to have a benefit revealed? ~

'Well...
Not exactly.
I see the benefit.
'MAYBE' or 'IF'...'

SOLD!

Forget it.
No need to resist.
Your 'maybe' or 'if'...
Began to make accomodating arrangements,
In your mind.
Somewhere to make,
Your decision 'fit'.
On the wall.
Or somewhere for it to sit!

Find sometime alone,
To convince 'yourself'...
You have not been had!

Then...
Drink a cup of tea.
Deciding which one of your creditors...
Will believe,
You were on your way to pay your bills...
When a wide screened TV,
Had your name on it!
And a salesman hypnotized you.
Leaving you without a cent in your pockets.
And you did realize this...
Until you got home,
Waiting...
For the delivery people!

Go ahead...
Use that excuse!
It sounds good to me.

Although,
All of my creditors want to get paid.
And hopefully...
One day they will!
