I Need a Bailout

I need a bailout, maybe a billion or two, just something small to hold me, until I figure out what to do. My jet needs a washing, my Hummer needs new paint, and if the kids don't stop spending, I think I just might faint. The pool needs to be covered, since the leaves are piling up, the gardner says he's leaving, I don't pay him enough. The cook, and all her helpers, say they'll walk the picket line, if they don't get more perks, they are ready to carry a sign. I need the money, and I need it fast, Vegas is waiting, please give me the cash. ,

If they are going to pass it out I think we all need to get in that line. One question how do you give away something you don't have? Our government is trillions of dollars in debt themselves and they are acting so smug doling out what they don't really have. Looks to me like these big companies are just wanting to act like politicians, always Ron

Very playful, but I read a deeper message in the words. Very wonderful Christy.
