You can’t be retirement age 
You joke at staff meetings 
like you’re forty 
You boogie at the copier 
like you’re thirty-five 
You giggle at lunchtime 
like you’re thirty 
You sprint out the door after work 
like you’re twenty-five 
And you get mad 
like… 
We should quit here, right? 
Listen, we’ll make an exception 
And let you out of here 
At what has to be 
a much, much younger age 
Because you’ve worked so hard 
And you have so much spunk left! 
Enjoy!

Hey wait, you can’t retire 
We’re not ready 
To tell our own jokes 
To think up our own stories 
To laugh at ourselves 
What’ll we do without your wit? 
Your laugh? 
Your smile? 
We do wish you the very best 
But please come back to joke with us 
Once in a while!

Ahhhhh 
Kick back 
Veg out 
Unwind 
Endless rounds of golf at exclusive resorts 
Fishing trips with the buddies 
A cruise or two 
Well, I hate to burst your bubble 
Or rain on your parade 
But studies show that 
You have one week, and no more 
Until your significant other gets out that darned list 
Of the twenty million or so retirement activities 
She spent the last forty years writing down 
To occupy you in your newfound leisure time 
You can thank your lucky stars 
we refined your ability to multi-task under pressure 
The productivity has just begun! 
Remember our motto – Busy is Happy!

Pretty roses on a cake 
A pop, a fizz 
Pictures to take 
A song or two 
A tale that grew 
Well it’s goodbye 
But please don’t cry 
We wish you the best 
A well deserved rest 
Come see us again 
‘cause you’re a very good friend!

*

You certainly deserve 
A rewarding retirement 
Hope you find that special balance 
Of active lifestyle and leisure time 
All the best in your new pursuits!

*

May you have 
Health 
Happiness 
Success 
As you pursue your retirement dreams! 
You deserve every minute!
