72 Miles From The Sea

The common term for someone

Who retires but goes to work again

Because they enjoy it too much

To give it up, is criminally insane

The best way to describe

Retirement is, make no mistake,

If you ask a pensioner

A never-ending coffee break

Samuel was late for School

“It was the sign” in his defence he said

The teachers asked what sign

“The one that says, “Slow, School Ahead””

Joshua did his multiplication

Homework on the kitchen floor

Because he was apparently

Told not to use tables anymore

They just keep on talking

Long after people are

No longer interested

So we should pity the teacher

Some people need to extract

Their finger out of their butt again

To get some much needed

Oxygen to their brain

There was a man in Thessaly,

And he was wondrous wise,

He helped us and we wouldn’t have found

That sports bar otherwise
