I'm a Repo Man, and you don't want to see
me coming your way, 'cause I'll take your key.
You can hide all you like, but you can't run too far.
I'll steal it at church or outside a bar.
I'll come after dark or by light of day;
at work it's not safe, or in your driveway.
You think I am heartless, uncaring and cruel?
That don't bother me, you broke the pay rule.
Don't you read the fine print when you buy a car?
Some people start, then don't go very far.
It says when your payment's two months over due
you cough it all up, or we take it from you!
Think that I'm bothered when in bed at night?
Hey man, I do best when there's not too much light.
Enjoy the ride! but when payment's past due,
I'll trace down your car and take it from you.
Repo Man!

The repo man... the worst nightmare of debtors everywhere. Some consider them little better than thieves. Others see them as allies in the fight against delinquent payments and whatnot. Personally, I never want to deal with one when they are on the job. But everyone has to make a living somehow, right?
I like this poem. You captured the essence of the repo man's craft perfectly with your word choice and overall style. Instead of proper English, you opted to use the vernacular one of these professionals would likely use on the job. The colloquial style makes it more enjoyable to read as well. All grammar mistakes can be attributed to the vernacular of a repo man, so that is taken care of.
I like everything about this poem, especially the way you captured the spirit of the profession. One not only has to have courage to succeed, but also has to be willing to let their conscience sleep. Good job!
HAHA i loved it
However
That don't bother me, you broke the pay rule.
Is improper it should be that doesn't bother me
Of course i usualyl dotn read other peoples comments because that clouds my comments, so someone might have already said somethign about that
Now that thats out of the way. I feel liek i need to watch my back from now on....It had sort of a stalker like vibe, yet it was very entertaining, and shows what people will do if they don't get what was promised
Very good write, your description and rhyming was marvelous

:D This was very entertaining! Luckily, none of my family or distant family have gotten much experience with the 'Repo Man' but I enjoyed this nonetheless. ^-^ It's nice to read entertaining poems such as this. Although this may sound familiar, original topics are gifts from above for commenters like me. I like your style, keep up the balance with topics! Keep writing!
Nice light verse with a punch. My son had his truck repo'd recently and he had to jump through some hoops to get it back. I pay cash for my cars, so fortunately I don't have that problem. This was funny and very well done, Repo Man!
Welcome !
