Looking At Retirement Poem by Phil Soar

Each day since I retired seems like each other
Just like when I spent time in work
I sit thinking 'Why should I bother? '
When everyone seems like a jerk
Each day seems to drift into nothing
And I dither and dally through hours
Making something of nothing, and nothing at all
Boy, I wish I had some hidden powers

I people watch when I am lost and alone
To be honest, I hate what I see
Everyone seems to be stuck to a phone
But none of them are calling me
I can see why our health is disturbing
When three in five people are fat
Our eating needs updating and learning
Why we think it's okay to eat THAT.....

So retirement has made me look at myself
And decide what to do with my age
For years I've been stuck, with my head in a book
And my life has now reached the last page
So I need to get out and be peaceful
See the joy that old age can bring on
And I need to be happy and helpful
As I cannot be that when I'm Gone
