Retired!

Summary:
My first experiment with internal rhyme, written some years ago. I unapologetically offer it for your consideration.

Retired!

Grass to mow! It’s too hot!
I don’t know what I thought
When I promised to finish the lawn!
Out of gas! Gotta’ go
Drag my ass, take some dough
Fill this can, so that I can keep on…

I am done! Summer’s heat
From the sun has me beat
Putrid stench from some dead little rat
In the bed, by the walk
Under dead flower stalks
What’s the use of my owning a cat?

Pick it up, choke and wretch
Must clean up, She’ll kvetch!
My old hag doesn’t care that I’m tired
Then she’ll bitch, and she’ll moan
That old witch doesn’t know
Just how much I hate being retired!
