Longevity

Another sweet note from the A.A.R.P.
Seems those folks want to insure me
I’m worth only the most limited liability
But eligible for their lowest monthly fee
They say there is a lifetime guarantee
I wouldn’t be around to check and see
If they had looked up my family tree
They’d know I have plenty of longevity
So I’m passing them up on this monthly.

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/29/2022 7:38:00 AM Ha, ha. At their 'low rates,' you'd pay more for the policy in a couple of years than it would pay your nearest and dearest if/when you expire. What a R.I.P. - off! :) gw Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/29/2022 8:22:00 AM True. That's why I always pass up on their "generous" offer.

Bill Baker Date: 5/27/2022 4:33:00 PM Liked the light poem and good advice. If you don't need it, don't buy it. Bill Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/27/2022 5:04:00 PM That's very good advice, Bill. Thanks.

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 5/27/2022 1:44:00 PM I get mail about buying my house, when I never put it up for sale, lol. I enjoyed this witty, humorous verse. :) Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/27/2022 2:26:00 PM I know what you mean, Evelyn. I get those, too.

Marco Chies Date: 5/27/2022 12:42:00 PM Boy, all this will pass, soon your time will come to relax and enjoy life. Go strong, my friend.

Deb and I used to do a lot of traveling, and I miss that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Tom Cunningham Date: 5/27/2022 12:35:00 PM Lol reminds me of adverts I get occasionally about funeral plans. Tom Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 5/27/2022 12:50:00 PM (chuckling) Yes, it does, Tom. I get those, too. I'm always amazed that everyone wants to give me a credit card, too.
