National Debt

leave our heirs… and promises.

AGAINST
THEIR WILL
There
are those who plan and strive
Through
the years that they’re alive
To
leave something to their heirs—
An
estate to help ease cares.
They
can’t reach the desired goal,
And
it truly pains their soul.
The
only legacy heirs will get
Is
the humongous national debt!

A NEW
CAST PERHAPS?
A
benevolent specialist
In
political orthopedics
At
first to others would insist,
“Bring
me a problem; it’s a free fix.”
His
efforts were to no avail.
His
explanation if you’d ask—
“The
politicians made me fail.
I
could not keep up with the task.
All
of my repairs were barely a token.
Promises
of theirs were too often broken.”
