Re-Tired
Here’s a thought I had today
(And really, it’s inspired):
It’s possible to be exhausted
When you are retired.
For if, in your retirement,
Some interests you’ve acquired,
You may be far too busy
For the sleep that you’ve required.
So if a work cessation is
A goal that you’ve desired,
Accept the fact that you will be
Both “re” and “re”-less tired.
