#59 Oases May be Rare
Retirement benefits will soon descend,
Endangering stability, - mankind
Veers sideways in a trance, and, undermined,
Our brave new world begins a downward trend.
Links with the past shall shatter soon, or bend
Under as the world wide web unwinds
The skeins of change, - which double bind. We’ll find
It difficult free garden plot to tend.
Oases may be rare, - who’s foe, who’s friend?
Now some who felt ahead may lag behind.
New chains are ready which could tighter bind
Expectant masses – few themselves transcend -
Awaiting sign apocalyptic to
Retract from all that “freedom” preached as true...
When a man retires and time is no longer a matter of urgent importance,
his colleagues generally present him with a watch.
R.C. Sherriff
Retired is being twice tired, I've thought
First tired of working, then tired of not.
Richard Armour
O, blest retirement! Friend to life's decline -
How blest is he who crowns, in shades like these,
A youth of labor with an age of ease!
Goldsmith

The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.

Retirement is wonderful. It's doing nothing without worrying about
getting caught at it.
