Transition to Retrement
This was written just for fun. A blog I read, BrewNSpew issued a challenge in October. Sometimes, I love to procrastinate so I took some time to reflect and to think about this challenge. Finally, I decided to take on the challenge. I enjoyed the process :-)
The challenge was to write a story or a poem of 5 lines or less, using the word druthers. For those that are not aware of the word, druthers is a defined as a noun, informal; one’s own way, choice, or preference and a noun, slang; wishes, desires, preferred alternatives.
So here is my five line poem:
As my life moves on, I discover
That if I could have my druthers
Life would be enjoying the sunset,
While walking along the Inlet
With my Brothers
