And that's what retirement's for.

And their prattle, and chatter, and burble
Now it's time to go home,
Let your sub find a home
For the tarantula and the gerbil.

Find some hobbies diverse,
Join adults and converse
In syllables greater than one.

And that's what retirement's for.

On a keyboard until you were sore
From sitting all day
Now it's your turn to play,
And that's what retirement's for.

---Let's hope not because he was fired.
He'll be underfoot
Changing all that it took
To make your home what you desired.

To sleep late, to molt, and to play,
Let's hope you're inspired
Now that you're retired
Why not make a site on EBay?

Perhaps your reactions are mixed
Neither blessing nor curse, an admix.
Your IRA's ripened,
And government stipend
Together ensure you're well-fixed.

That 401k's moribunding?
Hope Plan B's elastic,
Say "Paper or plastic?"
That neglect's ill-effects then obtunding.
