Retirement Sucks

Canes break
Walkers fly
Dentures are thrown
No one asks why
With no livelihood
We fail to thrive
Nothing to do
But watch the paint dry
Retirement sucks
Work was my life

Life might suck, Stephanie, but at least you have poetry to enrich your life! On retiring I thought I was going to take it easy, but I now find that 24 hrs a day are not enough:) Regards // paul
