Security In Jeopardy

The Social Security system

Is struggling to find a sound rhythm

     If Grandpa survives

     Past Age 65

Will Feds send a posse to kill him?





*For Deb's "There once was a man from Dunkirk" limerick contest

Harry Horsman Date: 1/17/2011 4:27:00 PM Probably not Carolyn, but what they will do is extend one's working life, from 65 to 70 to get more blood and sweat out of everyone. brilliant Limerick and spot on with the theme. Harry Login to Reply

James Fraser Date: 1/17/2011 2:13:00 PM That about sums ageing up Carolyn. We will become a pain in the ass to our Governments. Good luck in Deborah's contest....:) Login to Reply

Eamon Duffin Date: 1/17/2011 12:26:00 PM Hi Carolyn. Thanks for the visit. Yes I am really an old romantic. been married to Diane for 37 years and we still walk down the road holding hands. it stops her hitting me. Only Joking. We worked together for years, upholstery,have played music together for years and now that we are retired we spend all our time together. I love this. You are in the U.S.A. I think but this is so appropriate Ireland also. Well versed on a great idea. I remain, romantic, with a twist. eamon Login to Reply
