#64 A Freaking Great Poet!
I'm going to do all my homework
On talents major and small
I'm going to be a freaking great poet
If it kills me (something will)
I've thrown away the future
And it dispensed with me
You can enjoy it for yourself now
I'm wiped out financially
Happily I have a friend
Who will take good care of me
If not for my little friend
Retirement would be death for me
Quixote was quite the fool you know
Tilting at those huge windmills
There are many better steeds
For a poet's dreams to ride upon
And I intend for them to feel
The sharp point of a lance
Before I'm done
Ginsberg was quite neglected
He showed us how to use a voice
We should be howling as he did
While we still have a choice
The corrupted union bosses
And the self-serving politicos
Milking despair from poverty
Ought to hear from us once more
It's time they were confronted
By movie makers, activists
And bearded deviant godless
Faggot existentialists
Human rights spokespersons
Are honoured once they're safely dead
Poems borne with their ashes
On the rivers and the wind
Like the poems I would write
If I did not work for a living
The beautiful poems read on the sly
You kept to remember me by.
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.
