Gift Of Pie

I worked very hard to reach this slot.
Now is my turn to rest a lot.
Responsibilities were carried out to the fullest extent.
Fulfilled were duties to my best ability in earnest.
A couple or three may have spilled out of my bag.
I will not permit them to hang over and nag.
With stretched limbs I will admire nature’s beauty.
I will take up gardening, my long lost hobby.
Hours of leisure will hear old favorites.
How much had I missed these siesta minutes?!
It’s going to be my law and rule, now on.
There will be no one to boss upon.
All my attention and admiration will be dedicated to my spouse.
Erased will be ‘you have no time for me’ grouse!
World’s time shall be at my feet.
Thou may be amused at my excitement’s heat!
Tired of running in the rat race was I.
Most looked forward to, was this ‘retirement’ pie!
Its every piece, I will eat in style.
Teased will be the sparrow on my window aisle.
No longer would I say, thank god, it’s Friday!
Grateful am I to retirement for giving a wonderful holiday!!
