Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

Congessman, How Dare You Say That

Congressman, How Dare You Say That!

By Elton Camp

About the facts, you apparently don’t care
Social Security isn’t like being on welfare

Since a lad, every month I’ve paid into it 
Therefore, now I am certainly entitled to it

It was a system that I surely didn’t make
I was compelled by the Feds to partake

So how do you now come off feeling
That I, somehow, benefits am stealing?

First, cut your own pension and big pay
Before us older folks you try to betray

If you live, you will finally be old and gray
I have to wonder if you’ll feel the same way
