My Retirement 2003

by

Norma Jean Duncan

It's 8:a.m. I am awake
It's time to rise and shine
I cook breakfas for the man of the house
Then eat, dress and do my thing.

I wash the dishes and make the beds
I dust and clean what needs to be
Then the rest od the day is mine
To do what ever I choose.

Somewhere in between I cook a meal
Or warm up something quick
Then back to the computer
In my room you can find me.

I check the e-mail to see
If I have heard from a friend
I organize the writings that
I did many years ago

It's fun, it's great, I don't have to go out
If I don't want to go out
So I just let my mind
Go into high gear and enjoy the day.

My name is Norma Jean
I may be the whackest
You have ever seen
Sometimes I don't know
If I am up or down
My feet don't touch the ground
My head's in a cloud
My body follows suit
My mind don't compute
I'm retirement age
And living in ease
Doing what I please
Don't have to go out
In snow or rain
Inside is where I remain
I bring plenty of food
And enough to drink
Something for my every mood
I watch TV, write or read
Use my computer skills
It's everything I need
I think of things
That might have been
I sit and I day dream
No clock tell me when
To get up or go to bed
When to eat or put down this pen
So if you envey me now
One day you can retire
And relax like me by the fire.
