Get a Job

I don't know how to express this, It's only my point of view. I may be mistaken I have made more than a few. I may lack education, Although I have always worked. I have no hesitation, Unemployment is for jerks. If you are genuinely needy Or disabled in any way It is not that you are greedy, You require money so you can pay, For the necessities of life, To keep a roof over your head. Financial help is warranted, When you are unable to get out of bed, To look for employment. That you wish that you could do, Lazing in bed all-day It cannot benefit you It would play on your mind As we all need to work Unless you are the kind That does not feel the need For work, YOU JERK! Jerk is an appropriate name, You're all the same, Why should you work? When you know all the perks And the handouts you'll receive While you have a ball Doing nothing at all But deceive. Help is needed everywhere, Everyone able should work Many suffer lives of despair Please stop behaving like a JERK.

I don't think there were government pensions 100 years ago, were there, Rico?

Amen! Amen! I like "Everyone able should work." And that is so true. I never could figure out how anyone could enjoy living on the dole. I'd be bored to tears, and I would feel like everyone is looking at me like the jerk I am! So, I've always worked and I still work.

Volunteers are always needed; I think people out of work should fill this need while getting a pension, which would boost their self-esteem and help others at the same time.
