The Cord

The irony of aging is

You’ve worked your whole life toward

Retirement or working less

And maybe you have scored

 

A little nest egg, waiting,

Like a “You’ve done well” reward,

So there might be some treasures

That right now you can afford.

 

Yet some, like me, have also reached

The point where I am bored

By wandering through stores, which I,

At one time, just adored.

 

The kicker is that I could use

Some savings I have stored

To treat myself, but nothing tempts;

I guess I’ve cut the cord.
