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.
