Social Security Checks May Not Be Sent

Social Security Checks May Not Be Sent

By Elton Camp 

Earth to Washington:  What’s going on up there?
Into millions of people you are throwing a scare

We played for decades by the rules that you set
And now what we have earned, we may not get?

Of a great many people, what do you expect to come?
Since their Social Security check is their sole income

And others included having it in their retirement plan
Now to send it on time, you are not certain you can!

To think we provide an extravagant living to vermin
Who, how to get a budget set, can’t or won’t determine

Let’s hope those folks are right who say there’s no doubt
That before the deadline is reached, they’ll figure it out
