Time is Money

So watch your spending...

There once was an alien, quite lonely.

Who made a hard landing, quite suddenly.

Over a decade, at long last,

His bills grew quite fast,

And he never settled them amicably.

  • Poor aliens. Someone should have warned them about our modern day feudal society. We may no longer have company stores, but so many still get locked into their situations with debt.
