Sample -- Retirement

 

After 35 years
Of hard work and good times,
Albert is leaving
For sunnier climes.

 

He came to us from Waterloo
Delivered here by fate;
He hasn't washed his coffee mug
Since 1968.

 

Al's a stand-up guy
Who does his best to toe the line,
Devoted to his family,
His country, and his wine.

 

He programs like a mastermind
And golfs like Tiger Woods;
He brings us tasty cheese balls
From his east end neighborhood.

 

We'll miss his festive slippers
We'll miss his friendly ways –
From all of us at ITB,
Enjoy your pension days!
