"The Unemployment Blues"

Who would ever expect to wish being older:

I’ve got a bad case of the unemployment blues.

I’m getting depressed after reading the news.

I thought a new job would be easy to find.

Just what was I thinking? I’m losing my mind.

I’m pounding the pavement. I’m working the net.

A new job eludes me. I haven’t found one as yet.

I wish I were older for then I would be

Eligible to receive Social Security.

It wouldn’t be much, but enough to survive.

I would simply get by though, unlikely to thrive.

At least it would relieve me of all of the stress.

Remove me from all of this job searching mess.
