6. You have to be alert - in this new scheme

You always had to be alert in the old scheme,
especially if you were just starting out or had no special skills,
oh, it is the bottom feeders they prey upon...

I'm in my sixties as well, the other day I get this text that says I owe,
I know about internet scams, but this was a text, I thought it was personal,
my college aged daughter said, dad that's a scam

Of course, look at the text address - dammit cell phones are so relatively new
even to me in my mid-sixties

And to be so unscrupulous.

And don't even bring up the topic of experience.
Too many firms discount experience
