retiree’s lament poem #1

the State has stole our pensions
the State has stole our pensions
the State has stole our pensions
sing loo-di-doo-di-doo

that big ole bag of money
we gave our savings to
the State just took and stole it
sing loo-di-doo-di-doo

there must have been some Interest
’twas a humongous sum
the State could have that gladly
if they’d just left us some!
sing loo-di-doo-di-doo-di-doo
sing loo-di-doo-di-doo
