Borrowed Time

Flowered towels, Lord, look at this bill?

Trowels for growers?...who? Not this Owen.

Even a dower can't pay this, or my will!

Gloves for my rower son, look at this bill!

For me nary a crumb! Unseen voice still

Bellowed, "you owe some." Yes, I'm Owen.

Dear, wowee zowee, LOOK AT THIS BILL!

No free time for me 'cause I'm owin'!

LOL! Cute play on words, and so often, I also feel, "wowee zowee!" :)

I think you can thank Frank Zappa for the "wowee, zowee" bit. He had a song way back when with that title.
Two things happened:one, I played that song over and over 'til the LP wore out, and can't remember anything about it except that part,and, two I told myself I would never get a chance to use it in public. Just goes to show you, "never say never"!
