Join The Club. Poem by Douglas McClarty

Join the club
Membership free
I Don't qualify
I think you do
So many join
So many leave
I'm in no hurry.
It's compulsory
Don't I know
Not ready inside
To take the step.
It's unfortunate
But it's for others
To decide for you
If you're in or not.
When will I know
If I'm in our out?
Just accept you're in
The time has come
You reached that age
Memberships begun
So enjoy the benefits
I hope, for years to come
Now that you are finally clear
That you have become,
A Pensioneer.
