Winter

You got a gold watch

For the 53 years you worked.

Typing and hunched back,

9 - 5,

Monday to Friday

Some Saturdays too.

Clapping and cheering,

You get a cake

A closed door

A reclining chair.

Your TV crackled

as you crack open your beer

Drink to 5 decades gone.

Freedom and

Peace and

Quiet.

You’d sleep till noon if you didn’t need to piss at 6am.

The laugh track breaks the silence.

Too bad you won’t

Learn how the sitcom ended.

Did Shirley marry Tom?

Barry write his book?

Sam love her baby?

Your empty house

Holds no answer

And you won’t learn:

Too

F*****g

Dead

for that.
