The Retired Bloke

Waiting For God

I am a man who’s always on the go

I find relaxing simply too taxing

I can’t stay in one place, sit still for long 

The urge to do something is far too strong

I try to read a book  but I will look up

My mind will wander  and I will ponder

The things that I could be doing instead

Whilst other folk enjoy their lie in in bed. 

I thought  that as I grow older I would change

Re-arrange my life , cut out the need to binge

On doing stuff that stops me being bored

Give me a breather, pause be restored

Maybe I will look back on times like this

When I’m old and frail, can’t even piss

And wish I could be always on the go

Instead of waiting for god with a stranger called Joe.
