We retire with what ? Is our retirement guaranteed?
Very nicely written.
Isn’t it time for us to kick some butts?
I remember from NS time: we sit to wait, and we wait to sit.
Lol. This reminds me of some pop song, Robbie Williams’s ‘Angels’ or something. Or wait. Come to think of it, maybe this was inspired by Beckett’s title play ‘Waiting for Godot’.

” Is our retirement guaranteed?”
The clowns don’t even guaranteed you while they are still alive, why would they guarantee you when they are dead ?
Of course your `retirement’ is guaranteed. It’s guaranteed by God.
No matter what happens……..we will all `retire’……..whether we want to or not.
