Roll Up Those Shirk Sleeves

For my family members
    Holidays over
    It's back to work
  Duties, tasks, orders no more to shirk  

  As for me, I reckon
    More retirement beckons
    Yawns, naps, googling away
      ~ Wasting every precious day

Gershon, Welcomed in a new year well-fitted in your keen wit and sense of humor. Never a day wasted in that. -Richard

Those who retired fresh will have that feeling that they are wasting their time. After sometime, they will grow accustomed to that. You can set apart more of your time into poetry! I feel you have been doing that even while working.
