Age leans into the wind

     My daughter whispers...   'it's time to

Retire'

To early in life retire.
A savings plan he began,
To which he continually ran.

The heart's jubilant song of love
Caroling joyously and loudly 
Feelings sway in dance 
Love is a vibe

Father Christmas is old,
He was feeling tired and cold,
His wife said, "It's time to retire."
As they both sipped wine around their cosy fire.

The tight rope act fell from the wire
Afterwards they had to retire
All broke-up and Mame
Had no one to blame
But a shifty Beddie eye supplier

seven dwarfs getting a breather,
no more butler days,
enjoying sun's rays,
escaping Snow's screams and diva demeanor.

Do you retire to a schedule of pleasurable regularity 
Or forever taste the dissatisfaction of everything

Pushing his boulder
Sisyphus retired to the valley 
And there he yearned 
To be the ball return 
In the bowling alley

Wasn't much to look forward to outside of religion -
Until I held my granddaughter in my arms the first time.

Oh PS, she’s not in my shoes,
So it’s best that I retire to bed.

The Pledge of Allegiance But Accurate

I pledge allegiance 
To my job
And to the 40 hour work week
And to the taxes

Until one day
I retire 
Feeling miserable 
With a bad back
And most my good years gone

Maybe she feels he has more rights ... not quite!
Meaning members deserve more benefits ... to write?
