Retired But Not Retarded
Retired but not retarded
Sure like to make that distinction
One doesn't necessarily follow the other
Though many have that opinion
Sent out to pasture, some say
Another that's very often used
Please try not to be so condescending
Clearly I'm not really amused
As useless as a little tit bird
Have you ever heard this one before
Begging you to be gentle with this old fart
Sensitive but with charm galore
You're also going to get there one day
So your smugness will soon disappear
As they help you into your wheelchair and ask
“Are you comfortable, my dear?”
