With a pinch of Salt

 

It is in life

I’ve muddled through

and now

that I’m retired –

I’d like to say

a thing or two –

before I am expired.

Back-up cameras

I think they’re great

not crazy

about the drones –

Stop walking

in the city

while staring

at your phones.

I’m glad there’s no

Report cards

For when we are

Retired,

When every day’s

a holiday

It’s hard to get

inspired.

Leave your shoes

outside the door

be happy

and be kind,

Be careful with

your pennies,

generous

with your time.

Never believe

the things I say

don’t treat them

like they’re true,

Remember

as it was in life

I barely muddle through.
