Tired When Retired

If you’re tired when retired

You have just yourself to blame,

For the stresses of employment 

You no longer get to claim.


How you manage all your hours 

Is within your own control,

Whether sloth or not-a-minute-

To-yourself’s become your goal.


In your former life, exhaustion

Was a reason they’d accept

If you bailed on friends or family 

And instead, stayed home and slept.


But without those work excuses,

Face the facts, though it seems cold -

If you’re tired when retired,

It just means you’re getting old!
