Retired
Retired early
Retired early due to ill health
Retired early due to ill health from MS
Like an unfinished meal turned into compost
Still useful but not for its original purpose
Like a drink left unfinished on the bar
Not useful so thrown away down the sink
Like an unfinished symphony
Partly useful but without the composer's coda
Like an old car without fuel in its tank
Nice to look at but useless for going places
And tell me, where am I going?
