   Robert Frost's Two Tramps in Mud Time[1] is required reading for all supposed poets lacking in knowledge of avocation.

   I think the end of Frost's "Two Tramps in Mud Time" http://www.etymonline.com/poems/tramps.htm captures my sentiment about retirement

     But yield who will to their separation, 
     My object in living is to unite 
     My avocation and my vocation 
     As my two eyes make one in sight. 
     Only where love and need are one, 
     And the work is play for mortal stakes, 
     Is the deed ever really done 
     For Heaven and the future's sakes.
