Easy chair

Many, when they are about to retire are gifted with an easy chair. It is expected that they will spend their time brooding on that easy chair.
But truth is otherwise Many take on jobs to keep themselves occupied. When my husband was about to retire years ago I composed this poem for him
When retirement age draws near,
There lurks an unknown fear,…….
Of being a nobody
Once a somebody!!
How Faulty this thinking is,
When life gets a fresh lease,
To do what one really wants,
With none to boss with shouts and taunts.
Doing things at a tarried pace,
No more to rush or race,
Sitting by the sea for hours.
Stopping by to smell the flowers,
Relaxing in ones favourite chair,
With no tension, not a care,
Doing what one wants to do,
With hobbies revived and interests too.
Plenty of time to cheer the weary,
Share it with the said and dreary,
The world needs these mature minds,
Among them are some rare finds.
Cheer up all you about to retire,
The world as you think is not on fire,
Move forward with a healthy mind,
And happiness, you are sure to find.

@allknowing The one in your picture is a dangerous chair. I cannot remember how many time it "folded" while I was sitting when we went to the beach.
