#6 Retirement
A shot of tequila
Rinsed with bourbon
Settles my stomach
Crackling of my neck
With a swift movement
Is my trademark
Humming of the streets
Settles the nerves
Of my job
The useless mindset
Takes over my being
Steadying my hand
Perfect vision progresses
Guaranteeing success
Of my paid job
The ten o’clock news
Headlines blare
Echoing my existence
I open my bank account
Revealing the final payment
Accepted in full
When I once felt safe
The nightmare is now real
Retirement to hell
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.
