My Pittsburgh Ed Folino

RETIREMENT(I recently retired from an officeproducts dealer after eighteenyears of dutiful service.) I'm riding off into the sunset;eighteen years is a long time. I'm putting away my catalogto write some irresistible rhyme. I'll miss my coworkersand my customers as well. One thing I won't miss, however,is that 6 AM alarm clock bell. My first job was delivering newspapers,and I ended up selling office supplies. After all those years of paying taxes, Social Security is awarding me a prize. I'm expected to live on what they give me. I think they are out of their minds. Although I expect to make a fortune,selling all my books of rhymes. This retirement stuff sure is good;what I now do all day is no one's biz. It sure is a great feelingnot knowing what day it is. So, please purchase one of my books. I really could use the cash. And I'd like to thank you in advancebecause this book will be a smash.
