Unsocial Insecurity

From time to time a YouTube shot
Will show a geezer getting mugged.
Relieved of anything that’s hot,
You’re grateful that he wasn’t plugged,
Then catch yourself: Why offer thanks
For f- - -ing s- - - .
(Fill in the blanks).

The foulest of word and play.
Well duh, you say, but there are some
Who’d through enactment gnaw away
At what you’d think a rule of thumb:
Do not rob Peter’s SS stash
So Wall Street Paul can have more cash.

In other words, don’t privatize
So others gamble with Pete’s wealth.
To say it’s for his good belies
A challenge to his old-age health,
Like working now till sixty-seven
If need be in a 7-11.

It’s tough enough past fifty-five
To relocate in decent jobs.
Retirees no longer thrive
As much on pensions paying gobs.
The crazies who death boards bemoan
Should leave the SSA alone.
