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
