Retiring Officer

Respected mad


          Title : Retiring officer 
     
You are my principal
With principles

You are my  teacher 
Who never let me deter

You were  my peer
Who wanted me to cheer.

I appreciate your honesty
Worthy is your amity.

The aura you carry
Made me very crazy

Repurposing Retiring Life

Life invites deeply sacred purpose
when Love widely integrates
enlightened meaning
within co-invested minds,
passion,
from balanced bodies,
co-operating integrity
of healthy wealth's
most resilient potential

Life engaging 
deeply felt sacred mess
co-operatively owned and managed
EarthTribe clarifying purpose.

The Retiring Year Soon To Pass

Reflections On The Year Soon To Pass.
.
Mirrored reflections 
Upon introspection
Spring to mind
Within the wake
A passing retiring year
And the scourge upon mankind
That leaves a bitter taste in ones mouth
And the trauma of loved ones passed
Now left behind
.
Goodbye and good riddance 
You were the thorn stuck in our side
Su reality became reality
Many tears shed and cried
.

Rusty Year Retiring

weary waves whooshing
hoisted horizons hankering
dark dances drooling
felon fate fostering
airy atmosphere amputating
salient seas scrunching

mystic melody moaning
fiery figs feigning
voluptuous veils vying

callous crest crumbling
rustic rays reeling
lusty labium leering

tactic tiers tearing 
rusty year retiring.

Ode To a Retiring Master

As each squall breaks the random motion starts
Leaves twigs and dust in chaos whirl and skitter
Yet at its core remains a still calm heart
The land shall be restored to a pristine glitter

But this metaphor denies a truth thereon
That neath that placid heart there is motion frantic
As vigorous paddling of the gliding swan
Not still, though cool

Retiring

We earned every wrinkle
Worked every mile
To reach our golden years
The right to slow down
Deserved the privilege
To rest on our laurels
The time to look back
The right to step back
To pass the buck
Let others carry on

Making the most 
Of our last lapse
Get more mileage
From whatever energy
We can scrounge

Retiring Friend

I heard you just retired today
Now I have something to say
Get your head out of the sky
Don’t let your life pass you by
Pack your bags, hop in your car
You can travel near or just go far
See all the states you never saw
See the wonders, like Niagara Falls
Take a trek up the Appalachian Trail
Or buy a

Retiring Cowboy

Retiring Cowboy

He hung up his bridle by his bed on the wall.
His rig is preserved on a stand by the stall.
His old Appaloosa has been turned out to graze.
As he sits in his rocker and dreams of old days.

For years he worked hard herding cattle all day.
He worked hard to earn a poor cowboy’s pay.
There

Kenny's Retiring

Kenny's retiring, no more touring for him
Perhaps I could take his place, still got vigor and vim
No one would know
Attending a show
Absolute millions from this charade I could skim

Thinking of Retiring My Limerick Pen

Thinking of retiring my limerick pen
Replacing it with a hoity toity pen and then
If y'all get on your bikes
And take proverbial hikes
Maybe I'll just go back to writing limerick gems

The Retiring Professor: First Lines

“Seventy-four is about apology,” said Ferdy. 
“Well apology and memory. 
If you have literary pretensions, it's about 
apology and narrative.” 

Ferdy's class sat there dumfounded. 
This was a little different from the usual class. 
“The only question left is 
how much apology is needed? when can one let up?”

Retiring Days and Nights

Did you ever think you could be so lucky,

A friend to bless the way each day,

Delicious foods from the gods,

Prepared in the friendly kitchens,

Days of visits with handsome and beautiful relatives,

Nature's benevolence, the tall trees and beautiful environment,

Music to the ears and many piano concerts,

Reunions with very special persons,

Church an everlasting memory of goodwill and

Before Retiring

Goosebumps rise along my legs.
The sun belies the chilly breeze.
The summer sun is slowly setting.
I hear the droning of the bees.

Peaceful and serene , this night.
Curled up to watch the setting sun.
Colours start to paint the sky.
No night more lovely than this one.

Leaves gently bouncing in playful sway.
A glorious evening is this.
I am so thankful

Pagan Devotional For Retiring To Bed

This day is done and rest I must,
Let us lie the night together
Secure in Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.

Retiring God

So here i am
Im going to retire from my throne as god
and here is the answer to your riddle
of your religions
why are you teaching each other to hate
instead of getting along?
why can't 2+2=4 and everybody agree
its silly if you ask me

One day when you realize
we're really not at war
but its all propaganda to
