Poor Joe Is Disabled

Poor Joe Is Disabled By Elton Camp To hunt and fish are Joe’s delights For his sporting spirit it delights Hiking and camping he enjoys And going to games with the boys There’s no expense to get his pay As it automatically comes his way Even extra income he can make If under the table he does take He has an Uncle, rich as can be To all of Joe’s needs he’ll see Even medial insurance he’ll supply That’s so hard for most to come by For Joe is totally disabled, you see His back hurts as bad as can be He’s totally unable to do any work As determined by a red tape clerk Every month, Joe sneers As his disability check clears “Social Security’s not only when old and gray” This is young Joe’s most favorite thing to say All those dopes who keep on working Their chains Joe really enjoys jerking
