Bring a Bodybag When I Am Ninety Two

My friend and I were talking about retiring.
I chickened out. I like big money.
She put in her papers.
She is older than me by a year and a half.
I will miss her terribly but I cannot do it yet.
Two weeks at home was two or three days too long for me.
I will go out in a body bag when I am ninety-two.

Why 92?! Go for 102. That's only 63 years away! :) gw

I truly think I am leaving this plane at 93, so I thought I would have one boring year without kids.

It never ceases to amaze me the over nineties who live where I live, honest, the speed they go, they quite put me to shame, brilliant poem . . . : )
