Retired Husband, Tired Wife Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

When a man retires from working life,
That's when a full-time job gets his wife.
The job of a day's time
Rewarding rare a dime,
And as perks— life on edge rife with strife!

When I wrote this I wondered why it took me15 long years to pen a small ditty like this. But it is hard on men to confess truth. I'm sure all suffering spouses must be feeling somewhat like this. Yet, to be fair on me, I get all along solid firing from the new boss— much more than I might have received all of working career.
