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.

PS. Sound familiar? Oh, and guess you could
call this an identity cross so I checked off
that box also
