[hometext] => I keep saying "Humorous" except, It's not so funny [bodytext] => In years gone by, t'was always thought Ben Franklin said and it was bought, A penny earned's a penny saved, That's not the way cash has behaved. A hundred pennies put away Are worth about some ten, today You saved good copper, now deflated Old Ben Boy should be berated. A guy who lived the 'Golden Rule' He wound up feeling like a fool The dough he saved when he was young Put him high on the bottom rung. What a joke, retire early, Take a place with lovely Shirley, We shall live the life of Riley, Maybe better, bright and smiley. Forget the fact that money's tight Forget the fact that it's not right You've heard about the 'Golden Years' It's meant for doctors and their peers. It doesn't take much to figure out, In later years you get the gout, You get arthritis, labrynthitis Take your pick and choose youritis. The phone can ring quite properly Someone selling property, Your cemetery, do not wait Or you will hate to pay the freight. I'll say no more, I sure am sore It irks you, true and furthermore They have it right, it's quite a fright The 'Wagon' drags you out at night. So go along and sing their song Soon or later, they're not wrong, Let us drink to 'The Golden Years' Forget it all and have some beers.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
