The surprise in being well retired <br />Are the things that are no longer discretionary <br />To help keep you on the planet: <br />The pills, the exercise, the nutritional care <br />That in 20s,30s,40s,50s, could sometimes be slacked <br />But once through the big 50 <br />Are on obligation <br />If you want to stay.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-being-retired/
