Afternoon Naps

Is there any better sleep than an afternoon nap?

I think not, my poetry friends

Hands down, it's like I imagine what heaven is like

Not that I'm in any big hurry to make the trip

I really don't advise doing this if you haven't retired yet

Your boss might be a cranky old sod

Especially if you have your afternoon nap

In the middle of a very important client meeting

Perhaps then you might know what it's like to be retired

When I was much younger I envisioned retirement

As being “put out to pasture”

It ain't happened yet, I'm still full of “viss and pinegar”

As a hobby, I started searching some recipes online

And have made some tantalizing dishes

Which turned out pretty good for a rookie chef

Much to my sweetie's delight I might add!

So my afternoon naps have been a lot less frequent recently

Along with writing poetry and cooking up a storm

I'm having to allot some special nap time

What a twist that's turned out to be!
