sage advice

i call the broker
to see
how long the money will last
if i quit
working today.
she tells me,
another fifty years
or so,
if keep living the way
i do.
but there's no guarantee.
there could be a war,
you could get sick,
you could do something stupid
like get married again
and give it all away,
but if you keep your nose clean
and don't buy a boat
or a beach house.
or get involved again with
some bleached blonde
bimbo chick.
you've got fifty years of
savings under
your belt.
just remember,
whatever you do, don't live
like you're rich.
