Retirement Verses

I thought the hard work was all done
Now I'm thinking of what to do;
The choices are so great
What do I want to do?
All the plans have a-not yet factor
Built in because there's choice;
Decisions not my forte
I have yet to find my voice.
Shall I, shan't I that is the question
Do I or don't I, another one too;
Get up now - not yet
Shall I cook or eat out - or make another brew?
Procrastination is the thief of time
I've complained for many years;
That me time was in short supply
If I waste it there'll be tears.

It's No Job, No Stress, No Pay
It's goodbye tension...hello pension
It's spending your kids inheritance
It's when work never gets a mention
Take life with a pinch of salt
A shot of tequila and a wedge of lime
Do nothing at all
But take your time
All the meaning has gone out of weekends
Now you have a Life
With half the money
And twice the wife
Have a terrific retirement
You earned it!

The long awaited retirement plan
I can now start to implement;
What was it again I always said?
I know I was expecting an increment.
That was the bit to pay off some debts
So I could have some fun;
Insurance and bankers have seen to that
I can't do anything with anyone.
I've worked hard and not played
As much as others have;
More fool me is what I say
Now to my dreams I wave.
So, back to the grindstone I suppose
I could go back part time;
They'll save me tasty bits and bobs
At least the choice is mine.

I can read and write and paint.
Can even aspire to be a saint.
Left alone,
I could travel, teach and tutor.
Share guide and mentor Someone.
You my friends can remain blind
And kind
Or see in me a New find
Making again a difference.
Ramasami Natarajan

Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved the earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Alfred Tennyson

You can now live by this motto:
Didn't care yesterday.
Didn't care today.
Probably won't care tomorrow.

Now you are retired
You no longer can excuse;
All the things that need doing
Your job was your only ruse.
Your time that seemed so long at first
Now rushes past in a flash;
You don't know how you found time to work
Got so much to do-Must dash!

You can try out a fun retirement job
Such as a cinema assistant and then quit when you've seen all the films or when you get bored.
--
You can call your former co-workers while they are at work and tell them that you have just got out of bed and might go back for a nap after your midday breakfast.
