After thirty years of working - <br />I thought I had it made - <br />I said to myself- <br />I'll lie in the shade- <br />I'll read half the day- <br />And sleep the rest- <br />My wife had the notion- <br />That she alone knew best- <br />She said mow the lawn- <br />And go and walk the dog- <br />You're lying around here- <br />Getting far as a hog- <br />My dreams of relaxation- <br />Went right up in smoke- <br />I found that retirement- <br />Was only a joke- <br />I'm really still working- <br />For the rest of my life- <br />The only difference now- <br />The boss is my wife.<br /><br />Joy Thacker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/retirement-blues/
