The Bean Counter

 

he doesn't want to waste them
they're too dear
So she can instruct him
when to take them


hmmmm....


rather like making an appointment
for getting a lube and filter
she imagines


did she marry an accountant
or a mechanic?
he can tell the price
to the penny
of those little blue pills
but he hasn't a clue
the real cost
to her
self esteem



It's all right though


Reckon he'll balance the budget
when he figures out
the expiration date
has long since passed
and there's a Jiffy Lube
right round the corner
