Paid Retirement

I do admire those who work,

I admired them so much

That back in ‘the day’ I got paid,

Paid to watch people work.

It was wonderful

Just watching them slave,

While I timed each job they did,

To see if they were efficient at their work.

 

Those days are behind me,

My work days are over,

Retirement is my way of life,

A glorious retirement.

I still admire them,

Those people who work,

Slaving away,

Day after day,

Earning their money,

Paying their tax,

And with that tax

I get paid,

As some of that money

Pays for my pension,

To make my retirement wonderful.
