When I was poor
And always sure
Of whom my friends
And creditors were
I'd hasten fleet
The debt to meet
Lest any think me
A deadbeat.
Now I am rich,
The fact of which
Those self-same friends
And creditors itch.
My creditors cry
But have not I
A favor done them
When I buy?
They need not fear
The funds are here
And they'll be paid
Sometime this year.
Very relevant in the times we live in! ! Great use of rhyme. 10 ++++

Hahaha! That's great. It's very concise, funny, and wise.
Really like it, I've had them knocking at the door in the past, I gave them the same answer, some time this year. A great poem.
