Advice For the Soon-To-Be-Retired
To people not retired yet,
Some info I can share
On what you might expect if life
Decides to take you there.
You’ll have the time to travel
(If you have the ways and means)
And a chance to find some hobbies;
(Join the sports/crafts/gaming scenes).
If you’re lucky, there’ll be grandkids
Who might occupy some days
Or perhaps a part-time gig’s for you.
(Much nicer if it pays!)
But as the years progress
With all that freedom (so exquisite!)
You may find your planner filled
With every sort of doctor visit.
‘Cause it’s rare for a retiree
To never have a date
With a medical provider –
All those -ologists await!
So to those who’ll soon retire,
Cram it in – take every trip,
Since your future holds a specialist
For heart, brain, knee and hip!
