This retirement lark's not easy
There's no gain without the?pain
It can't be (golf) and (gardening)
Your knees won't stand the strain

A Poem for Retiring?Soldiers
?
Let the bugle blow
Let the march be played
With the forming of the troops
For?your last parade
The years of wars, and the years of waiting
Obedience to orders, unhesitating
Years on home soil, and the years overseas
All woven in a web... of memories
A lifetime of service passes in review
As many good friends and exotic places too
In the waning sunlight begin to fade
With martial music of?your last parade
Your?last salute to the service and base
Now someone else will take?your place
To the sharp young soldiers marching away
You?gladly pass the orders of the day
Though uncertain what?your future may hold
Still, if needed ? before?you grow too old-
You?ll keep?your saber sharp,?your powder dry
Lest?you be recalled to duty by and by
So let the bugle blow...
Fire the evening gun...
Slowly lower the colours...
Your?retirement has begun
??

RETIRING POLICEMAN / KEEN RUNNER, WALKER, GARDENER
You spent years as a bobby
Patrolling on the beat
Dishing out punishment..
...to your poor aching feet
You've done many a half marathon
Pounding along the street
You've walked miles round dale and mountain
We feel sorry for your feet
You're keen on growing spuds and things
Ankle deep in peat
Fair enough you're keen on vegetables
But think of your plates of meat
Sup beer, enjoy the grandkids
Give yourself a treat
Take advantage of your bus pass
Get slippers for your feet
Happy retirement Ernie
Your working life's complete
A career spanning 50 years
Now that's what we call a feat !!

RETIRING HEADMASTER / GOLFER / GARDENER / SHORT IN HEIGHT / KEEN ON CLASSICAL MUSIC / CHOIR CONDUCTOR
The Head's Dilemma
Should I continue rigging league tables
Or retire early instead
I'm afraid the school's lost the race
By just a short head (groan !!)
A raspberry to the Governors Report
Difficult parents know what they can do
I'm off to play a bit of golf
Err...and scrub a floor or two
Oh dear...I'll have to do the housework
Scrubbing floors and all that stuff
'Cos 'Er indoors will have to work
The pension's not enough
This retirement lark's not easy
There's no gain without the pain
It can't be golf AND gardening
My knees won't stand the strain
Let's see...choir...golf...housework
That's an awful lot to do
I'm far too old to retire
I'll just stay at Sandhill View
Should I stick to my cushy number
Or vacuum and tend the soil?
I'll let the flip of a coin decide
Is it a Head or Toil?
Toil wins!!
Lots of love
etc

RETIRING UNION REP / GAMBLER / METAL DETECTOR TREASURE HUNTER
A dedicated union man
Protecting the members' bread and butter
And on fruit machines and horses
You've been known to have a flutter
Whether "horse trading" or horse betting
There's many times you've won
Not just a skilled negotiator
But a jammy son of a gun
Armed with your metal detector
Lady luck and time for leisure
We're sure you'll make a million
Finding buried treasure
We'll miss your calming influence
You were articulate and rational
Good luck Brian...but before you go
Have you got a tip for the National?

RETIRING HEADMASTER / CYCLIST / COMMUNIST / VERY TALL / WEIGHTWATCHER / KEEP FIT FAN
James, you're a very caring bloke
A principal with principles, so true
You cycle, drink and play guitar
Not an easy thing to do
Your love of Central America
Can be seen on what you wear
It's an odds on bet, to say you are
Just a little left of Blair
You're big on sport and keeping fit
And on America's Cuban flop
You're big on Education
You're just very big...full stop
You fast on all your white days
And have red and green days too
And you're also?fond of the light brown days
When you sup a pint or two
This tribute's endorsed by all the staff
And your friends, of which there's many
The Government saved a quid or two
But squandered a good Penney
Good Luck etc
