A witty and heartfelt 26 line personalised poem for the retirement of a colleague, parent or friend. Laughter and tears guaranteed!
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 have been recommended as gifts by VOGUE and Easy Living.
Our team of poets is led by Joanna Miller who has an English degree from Oxford University, so she knows her rhyming couplets!
The poem comes ready framed and our chic vintage-inspired design means it will look beautiful displayed in any home.
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!
