Replacements

If you have no money,
you can go on welfare,
if you are very sick,
hospitals can give you needed care,
If you lose your job,
you can file for unemployment benifits,
you can go to a shelter,
if a hurricane one day hits,
You can collect insurance,
if you're ever in an accident,
the police can help find a family member,
if you don't know where you went,
If you haveno social life,
you can bury yourself with work,
if you got someone something they already have,
you can replace it with the sales clerk,
You can get a donor heart,
if you ever have a heart attack,
if you cannot find happiness,
you can always take prozac,
But if you never find true love,
there is nothing you can rent,
nothing possible you can buy,
because there is no replacement.
