Planning
Submission for the Unnecessary Line challenge
Financially speaking
I think we are good.
There is money in the bank
And the house is now yours.
*
The kid's future is safe
There will be no more drains
I hope he sees what we did
And you hear no complains.
*
It is now on you
To maintain the peace
I will be gone for good
That's a charming release.
*
We tried the best
And the best couldn't fix
What was wrong with me
Using all of their tricks.
*
Stay put and remember
That we had it for long
It is now a sure thing
Don't forget to change the toilet paper.
*
All the boxes are marked
All the plans are in motion
It's time for goodbyes
And sail across the ocean.
*
I am not afraid
I know what is coming
I will be singing
Or maybe just humming.
*
I am leaving now
I may see you again
Give me our last kiss
Love you forever...
Amen.

I like the creative way you used “complains” as a plural noun and how the the whole thing is positive but then that one line, almost a nag, like the writer can’t help but slip it in.
