OFF THE CLOCK

Joe Marcello

There are so many people unemployed 

They say they would work if they could 

But, the great thing about being unemployed 

Is that the hours are so good

    Haha that made me chuckle. During a period of unemployment a Liverpudlian poet I knew once told (scouse accented) "it's great, we have more time than a king and more money than a tramp." Not as poetic as your take I might add! Thanks for sharing.

      Great - short sharp and witty. And true.
      A long period of unemployment set me up perfectly as an apprenticeship to retirement - great!

      Regards,Dave
      PS: I hope the money's OK?

        I am not unemployed my wife was. I have one more year until retirement. Then I am done, finished, it's over. Can't wait. It won't be what will do, it will be what won't I do. Joe

          Being retired now I find that being unemployed leads to such a busy life.

            One more year until retirement. My wife said she is still going to work a couple more years. Oh, I will be completely unsupervised.
