There comes a time when we retire-
‘Tis your turn now, Sir Sautter ,
You’ll have a bit of leisure now;
Or, if you don’t, you oughtter.
So, take the time to read that book,
And fish, and hunt, and tinker;
And maybe find a few mushrooms;
Or emulate “The thinker”.*
You may eat onions now each noon,
And garlic; too, for dinner;
It’s been the outer man these years–
Now, satisfy the inner!
But, seriously, O Cloyd, we hope
(Give us your close attention).
You’ll stick around for years and years
To draw that HARD-EARNED PENSION!
* We wrote this “THinker” – if it’s any different
now, blame the printer!
