I’m having the time of my life <br />With Jeanne, my lovely young wife <br />Retired and happy <br />I’m a happy grand-pappy <br />With good times abundantly rife <br /> <br />I wake up each day about noon <br />Perhaps noon’s a little too soon <br />With no mountains to climb <br />There is plenty of time <br />To lounge around in my room <br /> <br />I check to see if it’s raining <br />That’s not too energy draining <br />Raining or not <br />In Vegas it’s hot <br />But what’s the sense in complaining <br /> <br />After checking the state of the weather <br />I sit around wondering whether <br />To eat breakfast or lunch <br />Or settle on brunch <br />They’re kind of birds of a feather <br /> <br /> <br />When I’m done with all of that food <br />With nothing on the telly that’s good <br />When the screen beckons <br />I usually reckon <br />To lie down and watch it, I should <br /> <br />There’s no show I see to the end <br />But sleeping for me seems to rend <br />The joy I attain <br />When resting my brain <br />Dozing’s become my best friend <br /> <br />I’ve shown you how my day goes <br />It’s a twenty-four hourly doze <br />I’m sure you’ll agree <br />Retirement for me <br />Is an enjoyable daily repose<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/retirement-8/
