72 Miles From The Sea

Friday, 26 August 2022

Are you wearing that for a reason?

That most revealing spray on dress

I can see everything you’ve got

There is no need for me to guess

A pensioner’s bedtime

In retirement is quite informal

Two hours after dozing off

In front of the TV is normal

How many pensioners does it take?

To change a light bulb that’s blown

Only one, but it might take all day

To get around to it on their own

A doctor drowned in a water hole

Which goes to prove at any rate

He should have thought about the sick

And left the well alone mate

There’s a downside to retirement

And I think there is only the one

Which is that despite all the extra time

Everything still doesn’t get done

Retired people don’t care being

Called Pensioners on any account

Because the name pensioner comes

With a concessionary discount

One of the great beneficial

Things after you retire

Is that polished shoes

Are considered formal attire
