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 . . .
it's 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!

I bet many women can relate to this.
How ture this is.
It's always good to have our own job. Reminds me that some of the people at work said that they have nothing to do when retired, perhaps they can find their own hobbies rather than to sit at home and complain about everything.
(Charlestown, Rhode Island) - Welcome to AILEEN’S GUESTHOUSE where locals and lodgers have more in common than first meets the eye. And, there's plenty of blame to go around.
How ture this is.
