List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

I’m lucky enough

to be pensioned off

Living out retirement.

I have the money

I need to live off

So money‘s not an object.

---

I don’t know what

you‘d call a ‘job’?

I needn’t work for others.

The ‘work’ I do’s

To please myself

So money doesn’t matter.

---

I had to make a living once

When money was an issue.

If that hadn’t been the case

What would I do different?

---

I guess it would be

much like now

But have happened

much, much earlier.

He’s three things

I might have done

Or maybe I’d do

All of them.

---

The first thing that

I’d like to be.

Perhaps a full time athlete.

Preparing myself everyday

to compete around the circuit.

There’s no way I’d be good enough

To ever make much money

But I’d find it so satisfying

to be the best I could be.

---

Then of course there’s writing

Penning silly poems.

I could entertain myself

But there’s no money in it.

I’d maybe write a novel

Maybe I still will

But since I’ve never started one

It’s doubtful that I will.

---

The last is the most practical

A life I could have had.

A life outside and gardening.

Growing our own food.

We grow so many fruit and veg

We can not eat it all.

Give away to neighbours

Whatever we can’t store.

---

That would be a good life

We could feed ourselves

Have fresh air and exercise

And time for other things.

---

I am very fortunate

For these three things I do:

Poet, Athlete, Gardener.

Does that sound bad to you?
