the retirement party

i start planning
my retirement party.
i tell my dog and cat all
about
the festivities,
the dog seems to be more
interested than
the cat, per usual.
i order food, some drinks,
party hats.
a bottle of non-alcoholic
champagne.
i buy a gold watch for
forty years served.
a funny card or two.
i make a banner that reads,
we'll miss you. good luck!
balloons would be nice.
maybe i can get someone,
a bikini model,
to jump out of a cake
and surprise me.
or is that just for birthdays?
