a thirty ninth poem...'retirement two'

Must spend more time on golf course

Less with wife

(hide her shoes to stop her going out?

Coming after me

And interfering with my life)

Join local Tennis club?

(scratch that

- might appeal too much to wife -
such..
..is life).

Develop taste for cognac V S O P,

Some other expensive spirits?

Crash sports car, breaking all speed limits

(claim on wife’s insurance);

Try getting into Stravinsky (again!)

Escape the Self using TM

(and wife)

Start over with Russian heiress,
Leave the wretched trouble and strife.
Or, take her skating
With a pick-axe
And accidentally (on purpose)
Break the ice.
N.B. Must get solicitor friend to secretly re-draft wife's will
