The joys of retirement are simple <br />you can lie around all day in bed <br />when the daytime soap operas get boring <br />pull the covers right over your head <br /> <br />You can watch all the re-runs of Oprah <br />with a coffee and snack in each hand <br />if the weather turns crap, head off for a nap <br />who said that retirement was bland <br /> <br />You can hibernate all through the winter <br />no more sloshing around in the snow <br />you don't even need to put clothes on <br />what's the point - there's nowhere to go <br /> <br />You can thumb your nose at the alarm clock <br />no more early rising for you <br />no more dragging your ass on a Monday <br />leave that for us workers to do <br /> <br />The joys of retirement are simple <br />and I'm just a bit peeved at such luck <br />so until I retire from employment <br />working Monday to Friday can suck<br /><br />Evelyn Macdonald<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-joys-of-retirement/
