Extended Unemployment Compensation Benefits…

Poem Artwork

Sent to me finally this day

The paperwork for another 13 weeks

No time did I waste to play

Sent it out to the state right away…

 

Will hopefully see a check by Friday

Sooner or later I don’t mind

Got the August rent to pay

So on my birthday in August

I will still be relatively safe & okay…

 

Rufuz too will have food

Without it he might have gotten rude

Love him just the same & understand

Felt really good today, enough to beat the band…J

I wonder if they call it Red-Tape because of the blood they extract from the waiting ones for them to move their royal asses.

Your on your way for the month. Glad you got the money and extended benefits. Way things are working out for you it is to be taken as such a gift from God or not. Hope you consider what the Good Lord gave you on this and pray to him to get you through this time of need. CAn't help but use my religion on this. It is like a miracle come true when you were in such bad straights last week. Thinkgs always will get better when they are at their worst. Good luck to Rufuz too as he eats this months and can be his loving self too.
