Ode To My Credit

My credit I find

Is quite a big mess

With easy reporting

I haven't been blessed

The creditors you see

In reporting they fail

I call and I write

To the same NO AVAIL

They have me mixed up

With my mom and Joe Schmoe

I ask them to fix it

They always say "NO"

I have disputed by phone

By fax and by mail

The response is "Still Pending"

They're as slow as a snail

My name they've got wrong

My birth date is too

My social is different

Can you have 2?

"Please dear creditors"

I pleadingly say

"Fix my records

Fix them today"

"We can't do that now"

They always reply

"Have to look into it

It may be a lie"

It seems to be

That I'm me I can't prove

I'm tired and cranky

I think I should move

So I sit and I wait

For credit that's right

Meanwhile I worry

Through day and through night

"It will get fixed . . .

Eventually" they say

"When" I reply

"When you're old and gray"
