Mr and Mrs Obsolete

~ Mr. and Mrs. Obsolete ~


A picker of pockets used to get cash
Now just credit cards, and never a stash
   Shed a tear for old pickers
   They're dying off quicker
Than bearded ladies without a moustache

Hello Gershon … enjoyed this limerick indeed. Thirty years ago who would have thought - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

haha. And when society goes cashless, maybe they will cut off people's arms or wherever our "tattoos" will be on our body to use for swiping products we buy (the society of the future!)

Such a great idea about using our tattoos... LeBron James and 3/4 of the NBA players will love the idea. They'd be 'fully covered,' after all. lol. Thanks for the fun comment, which won't be funny when it comes true, I guess. ~ Tattoo-less as of yet

Thanks, Jan. Now I get to sing Rita Moreno's number from 'West Side Story,' c. 1961: Changing 'I'm so pretty' to 'I'm so witty. I'm so witty. da-da-da. I'm so witty and pretty and wise...' lol. ~ Gotta get my legs in shape for my next number... :) gw
