It's Good. . . But No more rush hour driving To start and end your day No more early alarm calls But. . much less pay No more back stabbing Or rising to the bait No more phone calls from the boss Asking you to work late But. . . having to get by On half your hourly rate Now you have all day To sit or doze to stay to go Anywhere you like. . . . . cheaply You've got less dough Travel around the world Do anything you've desired But do it economically Now that you're retired
