Retirement At It's Best

As we get older we realize we have spent our lifetime raising children and working morning, noon and night to succeed and prepare for our Retirement then the time comes when too many people just sit back and do nothing with the rest of their lives. What a shame when there is so much in our beautiful world to experience. We plan to enjoy life to the fullest for as long as we can and accept Retirement at it's best.

Retirement At It’s Best

We planed a trip to Nashville,
We’re going in April come this spring,
Off to the land of true country,
Where we will play guitar and sing.

We’ll dine on The General Jackson,
And set out on the open sea,
Enjoy the site, look for stars,
Can’t miss the Grand Ole Opry.

Can’t forget my trip back home in June,
Nova Scotia the land that is a cutie
To enjoy my family, friends & scenery,
For it’s a place of true beauty.

Never a dull moment with so much to do,
There’s parks, beaches & waters everywhere,
The culture and the experience,
So much beauty there to share.

Take lots of photos, eat plenty of food,
Sit around campfires there at night,
Just laugh and enjoy all it offers,
Sounds to me it’s just about right.

 We hear Milwaukee calling,
Harley Davison 105 th. Celebration,
Not a prayer we’ll miss this trip in August,
Already made all the reservations.

Then Deals Gap is for the bikers,
As they let their engines sore,
They’ll make the trip one more time,
Hear the mighty bikers roar.

 Got to love your Retirement,
No time to sit back and rest,
Doing things you’ve longed for,
Enjoy Retirement at it’s best

Seems like I'll have to work until I'm dead
Kids won't leave home.
I think I'll leave though.
Sounds like fun Rose

It sounds like a great deal of fun
Happiness in the road at last to Nashville
Retirement sounds like a never ending vacation
Long-overdue and deserved!!
Brilliant piece!

Wish you had a sidecar built for two, Karen and I wouldn't mind going to Nashville again. Love that place. :) Also wish you'd swing down Texas way, give us a shout...an excellent write, yearning for adventure! Beautiful bike, too.

Rose, I can just see you sitting up on that Big Hog Motorcycle and enjoying the scenery with your arms wrapped around the man you've loved for so long. Ah, the life of being retired, and to enjoy life as you so choose. Enjoy it...it keeps you limber & young. A great poem.

Now if she could just stay awake on the back of the bike, instead of hitting me in the back of the head as she sleeps. Look Rose did you see that, snore.....snore....what, see what, she saids.
