Lifetime of Work
No longer at work
now in retirement
having worked since school
many a task I was sent
Began apprenticeship with electrics
blew a fuse I'm colour blind
then work in sweetie store
before redundancy not too kind
Worked in many a warehouse
looking after many a stock
from food to clothes
kept busy no time to talk
Made redundant again last year
decided to take a rest
believe it's well earned
after giving my very best
