As a matter of fact, some of the sample free retirement poems are specially made so that some of the words rhyme with toast. Here is an example of free retirement poems that could be inserted after rendering your speech and before the retirement toast:

This final time you leave your post Your workmates here would like to boast We've wished you the most Happy life – down on the coast While we continue here – In our daily work engrossed. And with that, Let us together toast You Our friend and colleague (name)

Or, you can have the option to change some of the wordings to best suit the one who is retiring. For instance, if the person who is retiring is not spending his time at the coast, you could fill in something that would still rhyme with toast for as long as it makes sense, of course!

Warning Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin candles, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three more pounds of sausage at a go Or only bread and pickles for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
