I was just wondering why I never have enough time to do all that I want to do on my computer even though I have retired.

You would think that now I’ve retired
I would have lots of time which is free,
To spend on all the hobbies I’ve started
And concentrate on little old me.
Then why is it I can’t find a moment,
Mid the housework and shopping and such,
To spend on my beloved computer?
I don’t think I’m asking too much.
I hate all the washing and ironing.
Cooking meals bores me most of all,
And my hubby can be quite demanding
And often drives me up the wall.
Then there are visits to friends and our outings.
Exercising to keep health at its peak.
There are even my favourite programmes
Which keep me glued to the telly each week.
I know I should think more about others,
But there are times when I’m feeling quite stressed.
Hang on, I think I’ll stop all my moaning
As I’m so lucky with the life I’ve been blessed.
