[net.poems] social security

mr.mincemeat@syteka.UUCP (mr.mincemeat) (11/05/83)

		It's a long road to travel
		To end up dead this way-
		All the times I stopped myself,
		Didn't do the job myself,
		Waiting, open for Experience
		(One musn't give up hope
		Something will surely come along
		I'll stumble on it somehow
		If I just stay a little longer)
		And I stayed a little longer-
		I stayed a lot longer-
		I sayed a long time-
		And some things came
		But never Something;
		And now I'm an old man
		(I kept waiting)
		And I'm dying in this dirty alley
		In the dark, alone
		And I don't even know what they looked like.

		I really should stop laughing
		It only makes the pain worse
		But isn't this ridiculous?
