Retirement Sucks…

Nothing to do with re-treading a tire,

Saving with a plan is what we do tirelessly,

We want to live high on the hog,

In the end we do find we are caught in a bog…

Retirement plans are not worth their paper,

Better to commit some criminal caper,

Living off the government in prison snorting vapor,

Will learn there how not to smoke or drink,

Nor for that matter to eat good food, yes you will learn to taper…

There is always the lottery,

The poor mans life wish,

Better to open a shop & make pottery,

Or get a rod and reel and live off of fish…
