The Final Stage

We save some money, if we can,

So when we’re up in age,

We’ll have enough to get us through

That final “elder” stage.

 

To me, that always meant that I’d

Be set for life to spend

On all the things I love to do

Right up until the end.

 

But lawyers talk of nursing homes

Or live-in help or worse

And all my hard-earned savings

Someday might just pay a nurse.

 

Instead of using money

To get through old age with ease,

I’d much prefer to exit

A la Thelma and Louise.
