L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

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 May 29, 2022 at 7:38 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 L Milton Hankins May 29, 2022 at 8:22 AM True. That's why I always pass up on their "generous" offer.

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

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

Marco Chies May 27, 2022 at 12:42 PM Boy, all this will pass, soon your time will come to relax and enjoy life. Go strong, my friend. L Milton Hankins May 27, 2022 at 12:49 PM Oh, it's here, Marco. I've been retired for about twenty-five years, and I do enjoy living. 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 May 27, 2022 at 12:35 PM Lol reminds me of adverts I get occasionally about funeral plans. Tom L Milton Hankins May 27, 2022 at 12:50 PM (chuckling) Yes, it does, Tom. I get those, too. I'm always amazed that everyone wants to give me a credit card, too.
