fruits of labor

someone asks you
when you will retire?
quit, rest on
your laurels.
enjoy the fruits
of your labor
and relax,
go fishing
and play cards
down by the pool
with your new
old friends.
where will you enjoy
your golden
years. florida?
they ask, the Carolina
coast? this makes
you laugh, as
you shake the coins
in your pocket,
finding enough
for a coffee and a
donut.
