Retirement poem verses

Retiring yes...but
It is the beginning of
another exciting chapter in your life.
May it bring greater personal fulfillment
Than you ever thought possible.
Enjoy & Congratulations
===
Retirement is a time
to look back
with satisfaction,
and a time
to look ahead
with anticipation.
A time to fill
each day
with enjoyment.
A very special
time for you.
==
Congrats on retiring
Now you can do as you please
You're out of the rat race
...but you've got less cheese

Retirement Poems by Proper Poets

Forever, and forever, farewell, Cassius!
If we do meet again,
why, we shall smile;
If not, why then this parting was well made.
William Shakespeare.
===
Fear no more the heat o’ th’ sun,
Nor the furious winter’s rages.
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta’en thy wages.
— William Shakespeare
===
Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
You’ve played, and loved, and ate, and drunk your fill:
Walk sober off; before a sprightlier age
Comes tittering on, and shoves you from the stage:
Leave such to trifle with more grace and ease,
Whom Folly pleases, and whose Follies please.
Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

Retirement Poem by an Improper Poet

It's Good...But
No more rush hour driving
To start and end your day
No more early alarm calls
But..much less pay

No more back stabbing
Or rising to the bait
No more phone calls from the boss
Asking you to work late
But...having to get by
On half your hourly rate
Now you have all day
To sit or doze to stay to go
Anywhere you like...
..cheaply
You've got less dough
Travel around the world
Do anything you've desired
But do it economically
Now that you're retired
Jon Bratton 2008
