Poem
The final day done and now my Liberty Bell No more work retirement is now for me Others come to shake my hand to say farewell Oh now work has just become history I can now put my feet up and watch TV No more listening to what the boss has to say I can walk in the park just let life be Is this retirement now one long holiday My first day I achieved so much I did do well I walked the dog for an hour for all to see We walked in the wood where I tripped and fell Then went to a café for a cup of tea Drove home again behind a slow old taxi I then watched the sunset at the end of the day To see the moon rise over our old cherry tree Is this retirement now one long holiday I’ve been retired now a year you can tell I thought in retirement I’d be happy and free Sitting in the park I often gaze and dwell Of times when I worked I was so happy With a secretary so young and carefree Now I feel like an old brewers dray Sipping coffee at the café and eating brie Is this retirement now one long holiday Retirement is fine for some I think you’d agree But I miss my colleagues that’s all I can say With days that are long the dog my company This retirement is no long holiday
