Mooted government changes
‘Ouch’ that is the operative word
For what I’ve read today,
People in the work force
‘Til their seventieth birthday!
Do the government think that all
Can fill those working roles?
There’s many considerations
Before this idea’s ‘sold’.
Many have painful joint problems
They creak when they move about,
And for some there’s lessened brain power
And they can’t work things out.
It might help if they’ve a family firm
Where they can spend those extra years,
Betwixt aged and more aged
Without copious tears.
Because in the usual work place
Many might be shunned,
By young and vibrant people
Whose lives have just begun.
And once upon a time
Owning your own home brought content,
But now there’s talk of equity
The government wants a percent.
So far changes are in the pipeline
Lets’s hope common sense wins through,
And the government thinks things over
And leaves us in peace – As is our due!
