Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Pass It On

Social Security will soon
Get a big baby boomer bump.
And pension checks will zoom balloon,
And more money needs will high jump,
As me and millions join the rolls.
I want to make no sacrifice,
So I tell my kids, bless their souls,
All I gave them - it would be nice
If they worked more, so they could pay
Most of their pay in FICA tax,
And work up until their death day,
So dear old Mom can just relax.

Social Security will be
My childrens' doing right by me.
