#95 Pandemonium
Modern art has destroyed me,
And left me in a heap.
Thrown me out of my social life,
Then left me in a puddle hardly deep.
A shallow grave awaits me,
On top of the new bunch from ‘Big Brother’.
Between me and my TV, a fall from my window is to come.
While my legs run downstairs, my head hits the ground.
Shattering my existence. And I wouldn’t bother to get another.
Teenage angst has paid off well,
But my memory no longer returns.
I swallowed my flame of new modern life.
While my hair slowly burns.
I’ll start a natural disaster,
It’s called ‘Pop Idol’ disease.
The repercussions are killing me,
And bringing the world to its knees.
I am an unnatural accomplishment.
In a gallery my retirement home is to be.
Left of the unmade beds of destiny,
And right of the coffee cups full of pee.
Tracy Emin has destroyed me,
Her and her kind have left me out of place.
At the pearly gates, when God asks me what I saw,
I’ll say “it was a matter of taste”.
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.
