I Will Not Completely Retire

How do you want to retire?

I don’t want to be idle.

I don’t want to end my life answering puzzles.

I would keep on working until my body surrenders.

I would keep on working and won’t be bothered by numbers.

I won’t wait for death; nor,

I won’t let it catch me doing nothing.

I would give it a hard time chasing me.

  1. Both Keith and I work from home, and have done for some years. Although we are both past retirement age I doubt if Keith will retire completely (he works part-time for himself). And I just keep doing what I’ve been doing for decades. In one way I feel as though I’ve been retired for many years – I enjoy my ‘work’, and it sustains me… You know the saying – “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
