Joined the Military

Join the Military Poor live in poverty while others are rich And all they seem to do is *****, *****, ***** Their motto is when in trouble or have doubt Should go ahead and wait for another handout. When we wanted to buy a new night gown All of them ended up with a hand me down Instead of something they would adore It got bought at some second hand store. Sure you could say the poor are abused Mis-used living with things which are well-used On back responsibility they refused to carry; To learn better went off and joined the military. That is why they are called the employer of last resort and not related to any vacations. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran PS. Sound familiar? Oh, and guess you could call this an identity cross so I checked off that box also
