The Years of Hard Work Are Finally Done
The years of hard work are finally done
Our children have all grown and moved away
We can look forward to having some fun.
Searching for our treasures has just begun
Obtaining necessities is passe
The years of hard work are finally done.
We don't have to answer to anyone,
When at night I dress in a negligee
We can look forward to having some fun.
Promotions and careers have been hard won
We can say farewell to that dossier
The years of hard work are finally done
We'll sail on a cruise to bask in the sun
Travel to Scotland and explore Taipei,
We can look forward to having some fun.
With our sports car, our grandkids we will stun
Which leaves me with just one more thing to say
The years of hard work are finally done
We can look forward to having some fun.

Henry the VIII
Heinz translates to Henry
I used to look a lot like that avatar (before I lost 90 pounds)
H is the eighth letter of the alphabet
8 is my astral number as well as the symbol for change and infinity

jeanne...... and his words purge up and outward,
expelled and onward through desert dust swallowed,
sands he says that gorge on simple sensibilities.
And, now he spits fragments, grit, extended vowels and elongated syllables
over cracked lips. Their sounds fall
piling round his boots… ~ jeannerené

A difficult form to master. You did superbly. I'd like to semi-retire by the time I'm sixty. Can't seem to visualize life without some sort of work outlet. 7 years and counting. I'm thinking about buying one of those ice cream trucks and being the village "Good Humor Man".
