To End

                                                                    It is a welcome death

                                                                    The path meets the road

                                                                    Sheets tied–gangplank lowered

                                                                                Rest

 

                                                                    The tip of the tail

                                                                    Wags on into the night

                                                                    But I leave the party (we all leave the party)

                                                                    And plod home alone

                                                                                Resign

 

                                                                    Taxiing on runway approach

                                                                    Settle back

                                                                    Only the washing up to do

                                                                    Before lights off

                                                                    Time for a siesta

                                                                                Reset

 

                                                                    Set down finale

                                                                    Within jackets, string and bows

                                                                    From now there is no daily tidy tuck

                                                                                Reserve
