Professionally Written Poem For A Retirement

A bespoke poem is a unique retirement gift. It's a way to make a funny and personal tribute to someone who is retiring from the world of work.

It could be a goodbye to a colleague, or a retirement gift for a parent or friend. Perfect to read aloud at the party.

Don't worry - it won't be cheesy. Our poems are often referred to as 'clever', 'witty' and 'distinctly not naff' and we often write for celebrities and coporate clients.

Our team of poets is led by award-winning poet Joanna Miller who has an English degree from Oxford University, so she knows her rhyming couplets!

When you order we send you a questionnaire about the recipient. We ask questions about their talents and career, their likes, dislikes, nicknames, habits and hobbies, future plans and even funny stories.

We will use your words and ideas to create a clever and affectionate portrait of the retiree, including any message you have for them. You will be sent a proof to approve and any tweaks required will be made for you.

Sample:

Martin Smith has finished work

And has a plan that he will lurk

Around the house annoying Lynn

Until she finally gives in,

Lets him buy the car he’s after:

A Jag for the retired grafter.

(Forty years at C&G

Deserves a Jag, if you ask me!)

So what makes Martin very happy?

He’s not a complicated chappy;

A round of golf, or trip to pub

For pint of beer and spot of grub.

He loves to watch all kinds of sport

As every Yorkshire fellow ought,

And cannot wait to have more hours

To spend on his beloved flowers.

Another thing to mention folks

Is Martin’s line in ‘Father Jokes’

The corny gag? Well, he’s the king

Of eyeballs bouncing on a spring.

And now he’s making grandkids laugh

With silly puns and acting daft.

Our Dad is just a super bloke

A rock, a staff, a sturdy oak

A cornerstone, a roof, a beam...

The centre forward of our team!
