About
About
Now I’m retired, free of bosses
And fools and spinners of bull;
Now I’m retired and free:
“Working”… was being trapped in a
Spinning washing machine
Should I explain, or let you imagine?
Now I’m retired: targets have gone;
Together with days and “time”…
Time is now, today and “about”
And coffee
Now I’m retired I’m a “slouch” in good
Health with cool, friendly, funny friends:
But the friends who still work have that
“after the funeral look” about them
Now I’m retired, I’m inspired, when twice
A month, money falls down from heaven…
A thousand here a thousand there; and no debts
To pay, (except perhaps a shirt or two).
Now I’m retired I have time to eat and write
And Photograph, and chew the fat with you,
My loving, pretty wife: ….. now I’m retired.
