ER haiku - any takers?

[TromboneAl]

Man from Nantucket
What do you do all day sir?
I don't want to know.

 

[Maurice]

Man from Nantucket
Has good reason to RE.
I mean, wouldn't you?

 

[Janet H]

No dryer sheets here
Mine hang on lines in the sun
Frugal, fun and free.

 

[grasshopper]

Before FIRE
my desire
get my portfolio higher

What is this ER
Quitting in the spring of life
A dream come alive

What is this ER
Quitting in the spring of life
A dream come alive

I really like this one but I am thinking about a different word to use than "quitting". Reason? I think most if not all people here worked really hard for a long time and accomplished much during their working careers while keeping the goal of ER in mind. Can't really call that "quitting" in my mind.

The best alternative I have come up with so far is "basking".

What is this ER
Stop work in the spring of life
A dream come alive

The best alternative I have come up with so far is "basking".

Or "Freedom."

 

[ziggy29]

TPS Reports
No longer clutter my desk --
I love my shredder...

 

[steelyman]

Or "Freedom."

Perfect. Thanks MichaelB and ziggy29

 

[MichaelB]

Or "Freedom."

Much better

What is this ER
Freedom in the spring of life
A dream come alive

 

[Nuiloa]

Oh to retire
From the soul sucking mire
Of eternal work

 

[steelyman]

Early Retirement
More time to savor the fruits
Of all your efforts

 

[Amethyst]

Last words, on departing
Federal work place:
"Now, you all work for me."

Amethyst

Longing for ER
No more paps or charts to do
Only books to read

 

[toofrugalformycat]

Big spenders are yoked
To pay for things they don't need.
My time is my own.

 

[eyeonFI]

In 5 years I see
better life ahead for me
retired and free!

 

[Gumby]

cool water flowing
smooth stone singing with gladness
as I dream of peace

 

[REWahoo]

Early to bed
Early to rise,
Was meant for those
Old unretired guys.
Burma Shave.

 

[OldHippieChick]

Breathing air out there
Quality of life just improved
Inhale, Exhale, Live.

 

[JoeWras]

Searched "retirement"
Found great info on website
My life has been changed

 

[Lcountz]

"Got no strings to hold
Me down, make me fret, make me
Frown-had strings, now free"

Used quotes cause it's probably coyrighted from "Pinochhio" but I paraphrased it!




Will be ME in another few months...got the scissors sharp and ready!!!!

Loved this concept !!!! Will finally be free of the all the strings pulling in all the directions but the one I want to go in......
