ALMOST RETIRED
A glass, a sip
A chardonnay
Winding down after the long day
Leave it behind
All forgotten
Retiring soon
One day coming
Passing the baton, the madness
Years of abuse
About to end
Put up with it
For years and years
Now’s my time to heal and recoup
Let others deal
As best they can
Turn a blind eye
And a deaf ear
Someone else’s turn to perform
Feats of magic
Miracles, pouf!
A smile with that
Cherry on top
My tour of duty is over
Thanks for the laughs
It’s been a blast
