In one respect, the retirement poem is not a new concept in the arena
of gift giving ideas. Familiar friends, family members, and co-workers
have crafted poetry for the departing worker in funny, romantic, and memorable
tones for years. But with the advancements in technology and the accessibility
of gifts online, the retirement poem has been re-shaped, re-thought, and re-packaged…in
many presentable forms and for many various career retirees.
The Humorous Retirement Poem
Painted on quaint and rustic material or personal item, the humorous retirement
poem makes the party members laugh and makes the recipient remember the good
times forever. Whether it’s “The fat lady sings…”
kind of poetry or the “I remember when you [goofed] and drove through
the glass” text, the funny tone is a light and still touching gift.
The Military Retirement Poem
Army, Navy or Marines. Austere and humble. Patriotic and Personal.
Etched onto a plaque or scripted in a nice font and framed. A personalized
military retirement poem can be a meaningful gift that can be personalized with
the retiring soldier's name, rank, number of years of service, branch service
completed, and date he or she is retiring. As well, many military retirement
poems have a space for a message from the gift-giver.
The Teacher Retirement Poem
The modern version of the teacher retirement poem is still moving and meaningful
for a favorite teacher who has completed—not unlike military service—his
or her years of academic service. But it has added features that make
it even more memorable, even more personal: you can add a recorded voice message,
so your irreplaceable leader will know how much he or she impacted your education.
Musical Retirement Poems
Like the voice recording on the teacher retirement poem, the musical retirement
poems will play a retiree’s favorite music or song as he or she reads
the personalized lines of poetry you choose—from a number of options.
Great for people who are retiring from the music business or who always hummed
a favorite tune at work.
There exist many more styles, options, and categories of retirement poems—from
books to gender-specific to hobby-specific gifts. The hardest part for
the giver of the gift is choosing!
