How Wonderful To Be Retired
(inspired by my steemit buddy @chickenburger)

How wonderful to be retired,
A stage of life that is much desired
By many who at sixty-six
Need some other kind of fix
Than plodding on the treadmill,
Day in, day out ... no thrill!

Alarm clock smashed,
Work clothes trashed,
No worries in the world.
Garden umbrella unfurled.
A life of leisure,
Oh, what pleasure!
How wonderful to be retired.
(At least I wasn't fired!)

Gardening to keep physically fit,
And mental exercise with steemit!
What better way to spend the day
(And steemit comes with pay!).
No more daily grind.
Just peace of mind,
And time to be inspired.
How wonderful to be retired.
