Retirement, aw yes, looked forward to this time
A cottage on the beach, that would have been fine
But instead here I am
With you guys, hot damn!
Greatest friends I've ever had, so sweet and so kind

Retirement in the Mountains
There once was an old mountain man.
He hunted and lived off the land.
He always felt fine.
When he danced in moonshine.
So he danced and imbibed like he planned.

I lost my job two years ago today
Unemployment ran out sometime in May
Saving cans you know
Still play the Lotto
My little retirement plan, per se

animal, retirement, sad love,
There once was a ram who retired,
who really was terribly tired.
Having serviced the lot,
he should have have been shot.
But the gun thankfully backfired.

This life of retirement sure is a blast
But can never remember when I went last
Tried to act coyly
And not to be noisy
Then bombs away like a huge birthday bash

Eh, pal what are your chances of winning?
Ah, you could have banked all this saving
for an early retirement...
to cherish that sentiment!
When you're completely broke, start cringing!

retirement,
Believe it or not, I just acquired a new client
Still at it at 80, something's out of alignment
Should have hung up my mouse
Talents have yet to head south
So, long as I'm breathing, still working on refinement

retirement,
Where can I go to buy some excitement
Is there a shop where I can get a new alignment
Would pay big money
In fact dollars by the tunny
To experience the joys of a happy retirement

After taxes, our money's all spent.
We can't save for our own retirement.
I've got a big axe
to grind! Income tax
isn't paid by our own president!

Lived eight years in a retirement community
Best eight years, so thankful for the opportunity
Elderly ladies clamoured around me
Best looking oldster they ever did see
Had to beat them off with a stick to avoid a mutiny

Best eight years, so thankful for the opportunity
Elderly ladies clamoured around me
Best looking oldster they ever did see
Had to beat them off with a stick to avoid a mutiny
Never too old!

dog catcher ferguson jeeves
found a new job raking leaves
since he turned eighty one
neighbors now have more fun
hes no longer spreading fleas.

death, depression, food, life, peace, perspective, retirement,
The stars outshine a pale moonbeam
We try in vain to touch our dream
We live each day
To hope and pray
We shall end it all with ice cream!

happy,
Retirement ain't all it's cracked up to be
Finding things to occupy my mind is key
Like chasing young fillies
Plying them with lilies
And watch them melt and stroke my goatee

Old Rudolph sired a reindeer last June
In hopes Santa would retire him soon
But the young one's red nose winks
Like a brothel's red light blinks
So they tied him outside the saloon

Retirement, aw yes, looked forward to this time
A cottage on the beach, that would have been fine
But instead here I am
Writing poetry, hot damn!
Met some really great poets, so sweet and so kind

retirement, time,
The time on the hands of the clock
It's all yours now, every tick-tock
Wisely you may use it
Or even abuse it ~
But you cannot choose to refuse it

retirement,
At this late stage, should retire my mind
Still designing posters, making errors is a sign
Once very sharp
Missing parts
But my poetry is still clicking, that part's still fine

humor, sick, truth,
My retirement statement just came to me
Looks like I’m working till I’m eighty- three
My monies all gone
It didn’t take long
Vanished in a viral economy

retirement,
Pay no attention I'm a bit off line
A bit off centre it could be the wine
Or might be my arm pits
Or maybe my bollocks
Perhaps it was that bucket of turpentine

retirement, women,
A spinster whom just earned her pension
Faced her fate with some apprehension
Though never a bride
She still had her pride
But old men can't jump to attention!

retirement,
Must take my “happy pills” twice a day
Or another collapse will be on its way
Nothing serious
Don't get supercilious
Unless I bash my beano if off-target I'll stray

retirement,
It's unsettling when a friend stops posting
With no advance notice or explantation of closing
The thought of passing
Is immediately distressing
Tis human to think negative a natural emotion

retirement,
At eighty-seven well past my prime
Can you believe it no long can rhyme
Even Shelly and Keats
Have hung up their cleats
Each had hoped for a life more sublime

retirement,
Lived in a retirement community for 8 years
Happiest time for we two and a bunch of peers
Had to move away
A very sad day
It's not been the same since the first pioneers
