Retirement Poem by Amal Alawar

Hooray, hooray Jane you're free 📪
today you become a retiree ✉
No more alarms to bug you at eight ⏰
You wouldn't care about the date🔞

Now you'll enjoy the seniors discount💲
and maybe manage your savings account💰

Dear Jane we gathered to say goodbye 🙋
but you know we're jealous, we can't deny 🙇
You're leaving a family in a crazy place 😨
With memories to cherish and more to erase 🙈

You know we will miss you and go around 🔁
walking on a floor with shaky ground 🆘
No papers, no staples no office supplies 📑 ✏ 📎✂
we'll huff and puff and burst some cries 😲

For those of you who came today 😊
to honor a friend let me say 🔊
Her journey lasted 29 years ⛵
so raise your glasses and tell her Cheers 🍻
