T'day I got two calls from friends and co-workers from fire. They both wanted to know what I was going to do with myself in retirement. I told them both I didn't know, but I was for sure going to enjoy being retired.
To be quite honest I am having a little trouble putting my work stuff into my home environment---maybe I shoulda tossed it all.
Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.
