| | Let’s Make This Quick
By Tom Mulhern
Today is your
Retirement day
There are many nice things
We could say
But that would cause
A work delay
So here’s your gold watch
Now please go away.

| | Not Part Of The Plan
By Tom Mulhern
I built up my savings
Working hard and late
Little suspecting
They would evaporate
My plans to retire
Were sundered and rent
When the stock market fell
By forty percent.

| | I’ll Go Down To The Office No More
By Tom Mulhern
I’ll go down to the office no more, no more
I’ll go down to the office no more
I’ll stay in my bed and snore, and snore
I’ll stay in my bed and snore
My time at last will be free, be free
My time at last will be free
What I do will be up to me, to me
What I do will be up to me
My work mates I’ll miss for sure, for sure
My work mates I’ll miss for sure
But their jokes I’ll no longer endure, endure
Their jokes I’ll no longer endure
For I’ll go down to the office no more, no more
I’ll go down to the office no more.

| | Flexible Frugality
By Tom Mulhern
Now that my working days are through
There’s lots of stuff I’d like to do
Too bad that in retirement
My nest egg has been quickly spent
But I’ll make a virtue, when in the clutch,
Of doing things that don’t cost much.
