Living On A Fixed Income Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I've come up with a plan,
To help budget my fixed income.
And I am sure,
Those like myself...
Who can barely exist from month to month,
Will find this to be exactly what they have been seeking.

I have decided to eliminate the last two weeks of each month.
And I awakened realizing,
How much time, money and energy I could save.

I've taken all my calendars...
And just cut away the last two weeks from each month.
Not only am I feeling better about it,
I'm already planning to take a vacation...
With the excess savings.

Who knew how simple it could be,
To make living on a fixed income...
Such a wonderful experience.

And with those weeks I've cut away?
I've decided to donate them to people complaining,
How they wish they had more time to do 'stuff'.
Not only will they have more time on their hands...
Perhaps they will stop complaining, period!
