We Are Retired

Al posts trivia on the internet Mike has become somewhat lazy and heavyset, Bill takes another puff off his vapor cigarette As for going to work, they no longer fret. Roger now aimlessly wanders inside the mall Danny tells everyone how he misses work in the fall, Cecil no longer worries about that overtime call But, still working somewhere, is old George Paul. Doug listens to music and tends to his garden Davey happily has already got his work pardon, Jon is now invasive and bitter, and has become harden Sadly, Charlie had died after a job he starred-in. Bob talks about his company time and years Rodney talks about all of the accidents and the fears, Tony still brags about his knowledgable peers Gary is an optimist, he still talks about the fun and the cheers. To the same company we all were hired In time we all were hurt, or laid off, or many times fired, But, we all survived the storm, just to become inspired Now we all stand alone, bored, and retired.
