Learn to say no
You have been on the go
Learn to say no
Just go with the flow
Learn to say no
Now you need to go slow
But that is not the right way to retire
Now is time to set the world on fire
You cannot sleep, too many things on your mind
There are too many opportunities for you to find
The more things you find to be done
The more you will keep having fun
Volunteer, it gives satisfaction and cheer
Needing your help are, Hospice, the Hospital, the School
The Red Cross, Salvation Army, Service clubs and church
Many worthy organizations found with little search
Do not forget all the fun things
Retirement brings
Sit in the sun, sit in the shade
Join a parade
Catch a croaking leap frog
Train a dog
Be dignified, play new games
Act insane
Listen of the pain others tell
Ring a bell
Push a wheel chair somewhere
Comb someone's hair
Do something worth while
Then smile
Look high to watch geese fly
Eat shoo-fly pie
Watch the sun rise, see it set
Get your feet wet
Give neighbors and friends hugs
Collect coffee mugs
Write to someone you recently met
On the internet
Take a peek inside the fridge
Treat the kids
Whenever you have a chance
Reminisce and dance
Munch on a chocolate candy bar
Drive a new car
Enter any kind of contest
Do your best
Think of nice things to say
Always pray
Vanish away your troubles
In soap bubbles
Take a group to the zoo
Buy peanuts too
Play golf on a new course
Ride a horse
Take a long winter cruise
A short snooze
Throw stones at a wild bear
Then hide somewhere
Stash lots of money away
Spend it today
All these things I did not do,
But give me time, I am only 82
