I'm public policy poet Andrew H.W. Stone

High retirement age yields net savings of wage, and so by an extension logical,
We’ll be working longer, smarter (not stronger), unto boundaries biological.        My age may be showing, my pace may be slowing, my physique may be near obsolescence,                                                    But work in perpetuity, assures continuity, as I progress into senescence.
My work will be diligent, intelligent and elegant but I have just one small requirement,
Whether sixty-two or seventy, peace of mind would be heavenly – Please do not cut my retirement!It’s not too weighty, field missions at eighty, I’m not one for ranting and raving,
With minor correctives, I’ll be just as effective; Bank Group gets my senior rate savings!
I might take kindly, working till ninety, the challenge is too small to mention,
But let’s make it clear, when I’m out of here, I’d like to depend on my pension!
