Extra Friday Post

This is an extra Friday post, because it's kind of hilarious and I just wanted to share.

Welfare Poem
I cross ocean
poor and broke
Take bus,
see employment folk.
Nice man treat me
good in there,
Say I need to
see welfare

Welfare say,
'You come no more,
We send cash
right to your door.'

Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep
you healthy!
By and by,
I get plenty money,
Thanks to you,
American dummy.

Write to friends in motherland,
Tell them 'come fast as you can.'
They come in turbans
and Ford trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks
They come here,
we live together,
More welfare checks, it gets better!

Fourteen families,
they moving in,
But neighbor's patience
wearing thin.
Finally, white guy
moves away,
Now I buy his house,
and then I say,
'Find more aliens
for house to rent.'
And in the yard
I put a tent.

Send for family
they just trash,
But they, too,
draw the welfare cash!
Everything is very good,
And soon we own the neighborhood
We have hobby
it's called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.

Kid's need dentist?
Wife's need pills?
We get free!
We got no bills!
American's crazy!
He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.
We think America
darn good place!
Too darn good for
the white man race.
If they no like us, they can scram,
Got lots of room in Pakistan.

Now, obviously this is a little, eh, prejudice. The whole point is that someone is mad because refugees get paid about $500 more per month than a person who has worked for 40-50 years and is drawng a pension. The whole point that is missed is that pensioners are generally not supporting a couple of kids and sending money back to family overseas. Another whole point that is missed is not everyone takes advantage. A third point is that $1500 a month really isn't enough to buy a house with, etc.

But it's pretty funny anyway.
