Hello Folks
This is about the whole idea of being retired. I wrote it back in 2006. I didn't retire until the end of 2015. So after I wrote this, I had a lot of time to consider the prospect. As it is now well into 2021 in the age of Covid-19, It's not exactly working out the way I'd hoped. But, then, we're all in that boat. Retire, Retired, Retiring It has such a lovely ring Oh, what a marvelous thing To live solely at one's ease A quiet veranda built to please To sip a julep, or, some icy freeze Watching birds wing through the trees Feeling just the hint of a breeze The mere slight rustle of the leaves And not to work on one's knees Feel the world's fast pace cease Breathing soft as dreams release A new life composed of these Retire, Retired, Retiring A lovely lady or two, how swell A luncheon butler ringing his bell To have any choice, like a magic spell All for me.... no bloody hell! Jack T. Leyton 2006 Oh well, I'm still looking for that butler with the bell. As for the lady's.... Nothing's as it's dreamed even without the age of Covid. But I still do have a few very good friends that I'm most thankful for. Till next time. Jack, out. ✌️🙂🖖
