The Benefits of Retirement In Winter

I am happy to be a retiree in Winter, It couldn't have worked out better, With need to feel bitter, When it starts to get colder. I can go to bed before the heat goes out of the Sun And not get up til the heat comes back again, So I can feel as right as rain. I can drive at times when road rage, Is off the page, And traffic flows at this stage, So I can get home before I age. I can stay on the phone and complete a transaction, To my satisfaction, And negate any company inaction. My shopping is done when the fast lane is open, Staff give me lots of attention, And car parks not usually taken. I can enjoy a cup of tea when not on the run, While sitting in the sun, And watching others not having fun. I can plan my day, With no boss having a say, Or worrying about traffic delay. I can have my breaks anytime, And can even go overtime, Without fear of a fine. So why wouldn't I find winter, A perfect partner, For a short Encounter, Before the temperature gets any colder. Winter is the perfect time to feel guilt free, In not rushing out of bed for a fee, Until I feel like a cup tea, With newspaper on my Knee.
