My Membership

They said the day I signed up, 
Once I paid the fee
My membership was lifetime 
But then, I looked to see

I felt l had been cheated
"Lifetime", what a joke
To think how much I paid to them
It causes me to choke

But since I'm here, I guess I'll stay
As long as I'm alive
And just renew my membership 
In 2065


I'll be 58 in August
Do the math--- Ha !

Great write Jerry bit of a downer giving you such short odds. Do Indian people who believe in re-incarnation get longer. Andy

Andy, the odds may not be as good as those in Vegas, but look at how much money I'll be saving
