Retired in Florida

We yak and gossip at the pool,
Stay in the water to keep cool,
Visit our doctors every day,
For we're insured,
Don't have to pay,
And our doctors like it too,
Without the seniors they can't do,
We never drive our cars at night,
For our old eyes need more light,
And at our clubhouse we play rummy,
Or other card games not so crummy,
At five we go for the early bird dinner,
Where every senior is a winner,
For the prices are a bit thinner,
Though we don't get any slimmer,
And evenigs, at our theater we see a show,
Put on by ancient stars,
Who had retired long ago,
And nights we flirt with all the ladies,
Who're past the stage to worry about babies,
Ah yes, the senior life in Florida is great,
Whether you're married or looking for a date.
