Foolproof

I lost my job two years ago today
Unemployment ran out sometime in May
Saving cans you know
Still play the Lotto
My little retirement plan, per se

lol, i see it a man sitting on his lazy boy invisible to any threat of being jobless. Enjoying his life collecting cans on the way to the store, buying his lottery tickets every day. Got to remember this one. Smiles to you Mitch, good luck,..Sidney LeeAnn
