Everyday is Saturday

Accidental Poet



 

Good-bye to the work week

A new agenda for me

The age of retirement

Dictating the time, I see

 

Social Security and Pension

My new income

With time on my side

My projects get done

 

Now my alarm clock works for me

With more time on my hands

Those projects and hobbies

All at my own command

 

My keyboard at my fingertips

When my Muse has spoken

Inspiring me

Of a lyrical devotion

 

Time challenges me

To fill my days

Keeping boredom at bay

Let me count the ways

 

From my life

Still enough left for giving

From the depths of my heart and soul

A life worth living

 

And should I

Run out of things to do

There’s always a chair on my porch

My back-up plan to go to

 

What used to be

Sunday through Friday

Now all the same

For now, everyday is Saturday

    After twenty years of retirement, I'd endorse everything you have discovered, AP.
    Let there be many Saturdays.

        Now you won't have enough time to do everything - in retirement - as they say! lol.

        • Accidental Poet

          But Orchi, I don't have to do everything. I can do whatever I want and when I can do it. 😁

            Thanks AP. It's a fine Saturday today, and tomorrow, and.......!

            Mate I'm envious. 20 years to go and I can't wait.

                Been retired over a week now, and I'm still not bored. Thanks Andy.

                  Man, this makes me look forward to retirement, and I'm only 25! LOL

                    Well, like a dog eating his meal, remember to taste it as it goes down. Enjoy 😁 And thank you.
