Life comes at you fast

When you are sitting on the toilet

Reading your news

Stories speak of terror

And fear of losing money.

Our economy sucks

Up to your boss

He pays your bills

Are such a headache.

Nowadays growing old together

Means signing a pre-nup

Before she takes you for all your

Money makes the world go round,

Not love.

Stay healthy or else

Medicare is not worth sh –

Should have laid off those twinkies.

Inject too much plastic

Should be recycled.
