(My entry in a "literary commercial" contest.)
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say
'Think well upon your future:
Your life will end someday.
Stash pearls away and rubies,
Embrace security.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
'A State Farm Family Policy
Was never bought in vain;
'Tis paid in small installments,
And buys you easy sleep
Till you are one-and-ninety
And buried six feet deep.'
