No more mundane – No more toil and strife.

and smile to yourself. What a wonderful feeling!

The slamming of doors and the clatter of feet.
You realise then that something new is just starting
A new life beginning – not just an old one departing. ”

We’re not ready
To tell our own jokes
To think up our own stories

Your laugh?
Your smile?

But please come back to joke with us
Once in a while!”

You joke at staff meetings
like you’re forty
You boogie at the copier
like you’re thirty-five
You giggle at lunchtime
like you’re thirty
You sprint out the door after work
like you’re twenty-five
And you get mad
like…
We should quit here, right?
Listen, we’ll make an exception
And let you out of here
At what has to be
a much, much younger age
Because you’ve worked so hard
And you have so much spunk left!
Enjoy!”

“Ahhhhh
Kick back
Veg out
Unwind
Endless rounds of golf at exclusive resorts
Fishing trips with the buddies
A cruise or two
Well, I hate to burst your bubble
Or rain on your parade
But studies show that
You have one week, and no more
Until your significant other gets out that darned list
Of the twenty million or so retirement activities
She spent the last forty years writing down
To occupy you in your newfound leisure time
You can thank your lucky stars
we refined your ability to multi-task under pressure
The productivity has just begun!
Remember our motto – Busy is Happy!”

‘cause you’re a very good friend!”

Remember those who worked with you

Think of us office bound, longing for sun
And we’ll think of you out there having great fun

As you are wise you will no doubt wonder
How will they get by without a blunder

But we’ll learn and laugh and then we’ll say
How you would never have done it that way

And even at times if we’ve driven you mad
We thank you most sincerely for the great times we’ve had

Whatever aspirations you now hold in your heart
We wish you the best retirement right from the start

Keep in touch, let us know how you are
Send us a postcard from near and afar”

“Let’s see now. How will I know when I am a senior.
Hmmmmmmm…..
Some places give me a senior’s discount at 55, some at 60 and some at 65.
My government pension will be sent to me when I am 65.
My company will arbitrarily retire me at 65. (I’m going to beat them to the punch and retire at 60.)
So that means that parts of our society think ‘senior’ begins at 55.
How will I personally know?
Well, with a little bit of luck, I don’t think I’ll ever know.
It’s all in how you play the game, isn’t it?”
