Retired Life
Retired life
I’m not going to say
I’m lazy but,
I do nothing
very well.
After marrying
the love of my life.
I am living and loving
the retired life.
You don’t know what
retired life is like,
until you don’t
have to get up
and go work
the next day.
Or on any day for that matter.
The retired life is like
long weekend vacations.
Everything that you put off
until the weekend,
you now have time to do.
You’re not sure what to do first,
you get busy and turn around,
and everything’s done.
Then you try to be content
with a honey do list.
Around the house my wife
calls on me to do a few things.
And I get things done,
before she calls me few things.
Don’t get me wrong.
We are all good at something.
I don’t fish, play golf or bowl.
other than writing poetry,
I do nothing very well.
