And though I am retired
Of some things I am tired
Due to the long life I’ve acquired
Not everything pursued or desired
Even people I did admire
Or wished-for things or those required
Some I wanted did transpire
Few of the things I enquired
Began alright but then misfired
A brain I thought hardwired
At seventy became dog tired.
