Before my coffee's cold I've had to solve <br />A dozen problems, each of minor set, <br />But clearly posed to test a strong resolve <br />That nothing should my indolence upset. <br />Retirement is a period of rest <br />To follow many years of strenuous <br />Activity of mind and body, best <br />Enjoyed by rest continuous. <br />But marriage vows determine otherwise <br />And thus, if you are anything like me. <br />You must maintain a pace to equalise <br />Your fond pacemaker who, so tenderly, <br /> <br />Ensures your physical and mental prowess <br />Are not diminished by your shamelessness.<br /><br />Eric Bult<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/energetic-retirement/
