Retirement Verses Poems Quotes
You've had a long working life
As everyone knows
You can now do nothing at all
And then have a doze
Enjoy Your Retirement

Late to rise
Early to bed
Collect that pension
Before you're dead.

You no longer have to punch a time clock
You can now do
what you want
when you want
anytime you want.

You wake up in the morning
With nothing to do
How you’re going to fill your day
You haven’t a clue
By the time you’ve had a leisurely breakfast
Your energy starts to sap
Before lunch the chances are
You’ll find the time to fit in a nap
At lunch, avoid drinking coffee
That’s far too soon
You don’t want it keeping you awake
All the afternoon
Get some fresh air
Go into the garden for a bit
Busy yourself
Having a nice long sit
When you’re thoroughly worn out
With all that fresh air
Take yourself back indoors
To your favorite armchair
Where you can have a good contemplate
About ways to get thinner
But try to fit in 40 winks
Just ahead of dinner
Then relax in the evening
Trying to understand
How you only managed to get done
Half the things you‘d planned
Never mind, don’t bother yourself
With any regret or sorrow
You’ve got plenty of time to fail
To do it all again tomorrow

Retirement is a time
For feeling glad to be alive,
A time when friendships blossom
And enthusiasms thrive.

A chance to do the special things
You always wished you could.
Retirement is a special time
For knowing...life is good.

Congratulations on your
Retirement

Retirement verses poems quotes. Here's one for a retiring teacher, particularly an English literature teacher

In the words of the Bard
Parting is such sweet sorrow
That we shall say goodbye, good luck
Today and beyond the morrow
For morrow, thou shalt be retired
In most deserved repose
No more vexed reports and tests
And no more...
... chalk dust up thy nose

An abundance of the very best in thy future
Verily, forsooth

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

Retirement verses poems quotes

Irish Retirement Blessing

May you always have work
for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold
always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright
on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain
to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend
always be near you.
And may God fill your heart
with gladness to cheer you.

THE FOLLOWING Retirement VERSES ARE PERSONALISED, WRITTEN FOR A SPECIFIC PERSON, BUT THEY MAY BE USED AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION WHEN SEEKING A VERSE FOR SOMEONE WITH SIMILAR HOBBIES, HABITS, TRAITS, CHARACTERISTICS

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?
