Annuitant
Oh I am neither rich nor poor,
No worker I dispoil;
Yet I am glad to be secure
From servitude and toil.
For with my lifelong savings I
Have bought annuity;
And so unto the day I die
I'll have my toast and tea.
When on the hob the kettle sings
I'll make an amber brew,
And crunch my toast and think of things
I do not have to do.
In dressing-gown and deep arm-chair
I'll give the fire a poke;
Then worlds away from cark and care
I'll smoke and smoke and smoke.
For I believe the very best
Of Being is the last;
And I will crown with silver zest
My patience in the past.
Since compensation is the law
Of life it's up to me
To round the century and draw
My Life Annuity.

Thrift is to a man what chastity is to a woman.
Your thrift's as good as the profit of a yell hen.
I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living.

Tree's ring recorded symphony
Life's rainbow bridge annuity
channels imagination's flow,
harmonizes nature's mystery,
gifts wonderment before we go.
lifts understanding, liberty
communicating ways to grow
straightforward serendipity,
[h]arbouring dream-theme, seeming slow.
Tree's ring recorded symphony
encourages our blossoms' blow
scores fruitful serenity.

Insurance Coverage to Indians
Insurance Companies assure coverage
to those who die early
and those who live long.
Among the greying population in India,
the number of centenarians
rockets more than in China
as the Indians have a long life span.
This is nerve-wracking
for the Insurance Companies
which have sold annuity plans
to individuals, who must be paid
a lump-sum once a year till they survive.

There Are, It Would Appear,
those...better prepared
to
roost
less in irony
....more
in those small pockets..
.fob-hung and alleviated...
do they know freedom
as a many-handed force and do not fear confinement... have they stretched....wrapped their legs around the body of earth..... in unbroken glory...just perhaps, (as if it existed) thorough sentience a tertiary factor......
an annuity.......
.but I've not lived their secrets....nor they mine....corollaries multiply, dance a dust bolero....in the end game all is equally semiotic....
each cheek imprinted with a slap, dashing..... a rush to some sea....illuminated as the grunion run...........
