Retired (So Said Fred)

'I won't be able to retire until I am dead' 'The government taxed me to death, ” so said Fred So now he watches the clock, so he won't get docked I will always remember those words that he had said Now I live my days with both hope and desire That one day soon that I can retire My investments made, my bills will be paid Then the sun and sleep is all that I will require The bosses I remembered they would curse and chew But never could they swallow either me or you They would rant and rave, as though I was a slave But I did my job and happily to them I will bid adieu When that day arrives I will have not been fired I will be living off my pension and happily retired A happy man will be me, as I will be a retiree And I will reflect back to the days when I was hired One day soon all of our names will all be read Hopefully not in the obituaries, but as the Retirees instead We will be our own boss, we'll carry our own cross 'Now let's see this company survive, ” as so said Fred Randy L.
