My Goals Have Changed

So many people do things hither and yon
Willy-nilly, without my permission.
Without my approval
Without my knowledge.
I used to want to control these people
But now all I want is a warm place to sleep,
a credit card that works,
and food in my refrigerator

It certainly is good enough for me! Oh, and I also was my Social Security check to arrive on time every month, because by the time it arrives, I am flat broke!

I understand that too. Makes sense.
