#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

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