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.
