 Retirement Poems Your work life’s over there’s nothing you’ll miss In a hammock you’ll swing in bliss No more morning alarms, no more traffic No more searching for the ultimate graphic. No more will you go to meetings grim Just the golf clubs, bowls or gym Your time is yours to do what you want No more office for you to haunt And now your time is up and the day is nearly done It’s time that you took your leave, it’s time that you were gone So, raise glasses and we wish you good cheer Now get the heck out of here ~~~###~~~ I hear that your leaving , you’ll finally be gone Retirement’s here, work is over and done No more office stress, just relaxation real slick, Golf clubs or fishing rods you can take your pick But maybe a grey nomad is more your style So, you might be gone for quite a while Parking your van wherever life takes you Lost with your partner under the sky so blue But it won’t be long for you’re leaving today There’s nothing left for me to say Except for good luck and g...

 Teacher Poems In our classroom, shining bright You were always our guiding light For your wisdom, patience and other stuff The words, “Thank you" don’t seem to be enough And now this year has passed all too soon You were always the ‘Queen’ of our classroom Helping us to understand With teaching lessons all so grand Though the chalkboards have gone, they’ve been replaced By computers, laptops and other interface You were always on top of your game Even though your jokes were oft lame And, so, it’s finally time to say goodbye I breathe an audible sigh As I pass out of your ranks, I say a well deserved thanks ~~~###~~~ In preschool rooms with smiles and frowns You wore the essential creativity crown In this world of craft and finger paints You always had the patience of Saints You always told us to have a healthy lunch To stop us from being a surly bunch So, at lunch after we’d open our box We’d get in the sand pit without shoes and socks In this room of alphabet songs and endless l...

  Sympathy Poems In sympathy for loss, we weep and sigh, With heavy hearts and tearful eye, But sometimes humour’s the best reply, To cope with loss, we'll give it a try. At funerals, we wear our black attire, And speak in hushed tones, to quell the mire, But once the eulogies start to tire, Someone's stomach growls, like a hungry choir! We reminisce about the days gone by, Sharing tales of the one who said goodbye, Yet sometimes, it's laughter, not a cry, That eases pain and helps hearts to fly. In sympathy for loss, we may feel blue, But humour helps us see it through, For life's a mix of joy and rue, And laughter can heal, that much is true. ~~~###~~~ As I sit upon my cloud and look down on the world I see how my friends and family have all my goods unfurled I’m not perturbed but overjoyed, letting out a laugh so hearty As I hear them exclaim quite loud, “The bugger’s dead, let’s have a party" ~~~###~~~ My best friend has gone away, And all we wanted, one more d...
