Hard Knock Life

IT’S A HARD KNOCK LIFE

(dedicated to us all)

It’s the Hartford life renown

Drive a car to work downtown

Had wealthbuilder

And CAP plan

Even drove a minivan

It’s the Hartford life.

Life at Travelers wasn’t bad

All the friends and fun we had

Until something

Knocked us cold

‘stead of spun off

we get sold

no more Hartford life.

Then MetLife interviewed our every person

To decide who they can and who they keep

While the job prospects elsewhere seem to worsen

And stress levels were getting pretty deep.

Many families have truly been uprooted

Had to find a new neighborhood and school

From dear Travelers we all have been extruded

And now someone else is swimming in my pool!

Then the movers packed us up

Put our boxes on their truck

Sold our house to reinvest

In a home in the Midwest

No more Hartford life!

Far too young to be retired

Vested options all expired

Cardboard boxes still intact

Someday we may get unpacked

So long Hartford life!
