Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
Happily retired – this is why:
My senior had a grand plan.
He’d thought this through in great detail;
To effect it I was the man.
I made the effort to explain
Difficulties he could not see:
I don’t think a way could be found -
But this was my deficiency.
Yet here, as part of our culture,
Old advice which is very sound -
Wisdom well known: ‘Easier said than done’
Now = to no more foolish plans am I bound.

We can live on little.
Being content is more difficult.
I don't want to boast, but I've never been more content......
That makes me happy.
I was gonna be wise. As Goldfinch and I are millions of years old, I thought we would be OK, until I read 'Wisdom is not always found with the aged'. Doh!
While I wholeheartedly agree with your recently discovered aphorism, orchi, I would be prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt just this once.................
Well said and complete…
Retirement=no more foolish plans I am bound
One should be so lucky
Can I assume that you have yet to retire, that you still have youth on your side? No hurry - but retirement can be very liberating.
Good luck to you wherever on life's path you happen to be.
Being retired can bring such wonderful things to our lives Dave.

Hear hear, Andy.
I didn’t think anyone retired anymore. I did but keep working so what does that mean? Loved the poem made me smile.
Don't take much to make you smile, do it? 🙂
Fantastic work. Cheers.
I know.
we all have a certain sapiential responsibility to look out for those who have not yet reached a certain point in their life .. but I am sure that not everyone will see it my way .. Neville
