Retirement
Active adults all around,
Doing different things.
Tennis, poker, exercise,
Reading, travel, sing.
Golf’s popular and mahjongg, too,
And dining out is great.
Listening to music, now,
Go dancing. Don’t be late.
Arts and crafts fairs every week,
Now hurry… pick your square.
Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter, too,
Go solo or by pair.
Credit cards are everywhere,
‘tis sale time, can’t you tell.
Specials for the early bird,
The timing is so swell.
Walking, jogging, pickleball,
Basket weaving, too.
Carving wood and painting pic’s,
There’s so much here to do.
Stage productions every week,
Bus trips near and far.
Take a plane or cruise ship now,
Or motorhome or car.
Courses from the college range,
From simple to complex.
Whatever suits your fancy, though,
Regardless of your sex.
Squaredance, clog, electric slide,
Waltz across the floor.
However much you get involved,
There’s always something more.
Writing essays, poems and books,
Will there be time for all?
So much to do. No time to waste.
Garden, swim, shoot pool.
White and black and red and tan,
Your color doesn’t matter.
You’ve worked your life and earned the right,
To golf or be red-hatter.
Entertain from near and far,
Friends and family, all.
You paid your dues well in advance,
Be clown who catches ball.
Take your time to just reflect,
Do that which interests you.
Have a ball. Enjoy yourself.
It really is your due.
