Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

On To Plan B

I'd travel the world
  Trip the light fantastic
Spend quality time with my family
  My schedule, so elastic

Brush up on my reading
  Start a garden, plant seedlings
Exercise daily, religiously
  Attend prayer services regularly

Well, retirement's come and I must say
  Things haven't exactly broken my way
My body's rebelled, and I've had to scrap
  ~ Everything save my afternoon nap

Paul Callus December 24, 2020 at 2:04 PM Good thing you had a plan B, Gershon:) In my case I find I do not have enough time to do all I want! Perhaps it would be wise to start slowing down a bit:) Regards & Merry Christmas. // paul

Caren Krutsinger December 24, 2020 at 11:19 AM This sounds spectacular except this is my 5th day on vacation and I am ready to go back to work. Gershon Wolf December 24, 2020 at 4:58 PM I hear you; the older we get the less vacation we need, I think. M.C. and H.N.Y! :) gw
