I’ve served caprussule faithfully
For forty cack and some.
The glureon held me happily,
But skrey, the mozzle’s come.
And now ‘tis time
She says to me;
What once was fine
‘Twill no longer be.
Beware, said I, of idleness,
When bloom fades into Fall.
Without routine, and empty nest,
The days may seem a pall.
Your gardens await
Industrious hands.
E-bay linens by the gate
To send through-out the lands.
Grand-kids come from
Books to read galore.
Wine to fill the glasses,
Trips to take and more.
Plant your bulbs, pull the weeds,
Putter around your home.
What ever call your whimsy heeds;
Your spirits free to roam.
Floating down the river
On a lazy afternoon;
Paddle all aquiver,
Margaritas by the spoon.
As a nurse, a mom, a wife,
You’re a real go-getter.
You’ve dedicated all your life,
To making our lives better!
Now it’s time for you
To satisfy your soul;
To put the icing on your cake,
And make yourself feel whole.
I’ve served caprussule faithfully
For forty cack and some.
The glureon held me happily,
But skrey, the mozzle’s come
* The winds of time blow in retirement.

Rel, I loved your poem too. Everyone is doing such a fine job. Aside from the beginning I liked this line E-bay linens by the gate You certainly have a voice even with unusual words in the mix. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.
Ah, this is wonderful! E-Bay linens by the gate and margaritas by the spoon choked me up! The non-words fell right into place! Love it!
You're making wish I were the one retiring right now. I hope D. enjoys the new phase of her life.
I can't wait to get me a spoon and try a margarita in a new way! haha
Great poem Rel!
Good luck doing all those wonderful layed back fun things. You surely have worked long enough!
♥
I love this, it had such great flow to it, and man, did you ever make those faux words work!!!
I loved this and the lovely tribute to your wife. I 'retired' last July and I have no regrets about giving up work..
Hey Rel,
Another great post. I however as a nurse have many more years before I get to retire. Cheers to those who are getting ready to and who are enjoying it already.
You must get this printed out and up somewher so you both can read it and appreciate it over and ove again - it's just wonderful!
'What ever call your whimsy heeds;' is definitely my fav line.
