When I Am Retired

When I am retired I shall lie around eating cookies, ignoring the phone. Wait! I already do that. When I am retired I shall do whatever I want all day long, every second of my day. Uh-oh. I am pretty close to doing that now if you discount my stupid paperwork. When I am retired I shall have a maid wait on me hand and foot. Scratch that. I like my privacy. A maid might be recording me on her phone or something. When I am retired I shall do all the things that I have always wanted to do, but never did. Here is the list. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Maybe I am not ready yet.

How else could I end it? They pay me a lovely wage, and I love my job, and what would I do without children all day?

I was thinking now what? And my muse said "hand me the pen," and so I did.
