He's Retired; She's Just Tired

I personally know of a lady who has retired TWICE but, since her husband is retired, she is back working again. With her husband home, she works HARDER ... without pay so she's refusing to wait on him 'hand and foot'.

He’s Retired; She’s Just Tired

Twenty-four/seven;
five till eleven,
women are 'on call'.
God bless the woman
whose man is retired.
She'll wish him 'rehired'.
Twenty-four/seven;
five till eleven . . .
its constant complaints.
Nothing is done right;
she cannot sit down
when he is house-bound.
Twenty-four/seven;
five till eleven . . .
he thinks he's a King
yet she's not his Queen.
The poor, worn out gal
has NO outlet now.
Twenty-four/seven;
five till eleven . . .
he talks constantly
about her mistakes.
Remarkably
he won't let her be!
Twenty-four/seven;
five till eleven . . .
She's let herself go . . .
they've no social life.
Her man is retired;
she's in misery.
Twenty-four/seven;
five till eleven . . .
The clock won't turn back;
the future looks drear.
She's praying to find
her own job this year!

Retirement with a man can be a real nightmare! That is why many marriages break up after 25 years..........they never really had to sit in the same room before then. Great write, and I hope your friend finds a new man.

Don't cook for him,
Neither clean, nor do his laundry,
Not eating will make him slim,
Dirty clothes will make him grim,
Sooner or later to do housework,
He will be pushed over the brim... Ed
