Pay up...or else.

Please remit your payment promptly
We’re trying to be polite.

 But you’re a deadbeat through and through.
And we’re almost done being nice.
Please remit your payment promptly.
Please pay the piper’s due.
Twenty-four hours and all bets are off.
‘Vinnie’s’ coming after you.
Please remit your payment promptly.
Because…
We’re just about through with please.
And if you know what’s good for you…
And if you want to keep your knees…
Please remit your payment promptly.
Who says the mob is NOT polite?
But manners only go so far…
And paying your bill is quite polite.
And much, much safer for you...

    Yikes! Please send me your paypal details so that I can pay up my debt - don't wish to be a deadbeat when Ma Matlock is collecting!
    That was very good - but please....send your paypal details.

    Be sure to pay up; this guy looks menacing and his threats are too.

    I don't think I will ever be able to repay you for the love and kindness you have shown me, but please don't send Vinny after me--I'll TRY!!!

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
