Poem of the Week


RETIREMENT
By Ralph J. Adams

      Today is warm and sunny,
      What will I do today?
      Will I trim around the house
      And haul all the twigs away.

      I could fix the latch on my shed,
      Maybe weed out the flower bed.
      Fix my faucet that has a leak,
      Or put it off for another week.

      I know the bathroom needs some paint
      Molding needed on the kitchen floor.
      My wife has a big long list for me,
      But today my aching back is sore.

      I will sit down on my chair,
      With this list upon my lap.
      Maybe close my eyes for a little while,
      And take a little nap.

      My how this day has gone by so fast,
      And with my grief and sorrow,
      I think I will just rest today,
      And do those jobs tomorrow.

      Now isn't retirement just great,
      All I have to do is sit around.
      And just procrastinate.
