Analysis of So Much Time



I do not have a schedule nor
A boss who judges me.
I do not have a lunch time or
A place I need to be.

I get up when I choose to rise
And no one can complain,
At least it would not be too wise;
Objections are in vain.

These are the facts so great and true.
Much free time on my hands.
And so I still ask, "What to do?"
I need retirement plans!
