retirement party

you've worked hard
all these years
being self employed
but now it's time to step
down and retire.
you make yourself
a cake and buy a nice
gold watch. you go
to hallmark to purchase
a sentimental card
stating how much you'll
be missed. you blow
up some balloons and
string them across
the room. you put some
music on and order
in some pizzas.
you put a little cone hat
on your dog and set
him on the chair,
he let's out a happy bark
somehow knowing
that you'll be home more
often now, which means
more treats, more
walks, more pizza.
