Isn't a hammock an ideal customer?

Sunday's Whirligig's 11 of 12 given words:
chair wobbles grass spill sheep chilly 
waters worry enemies safe watch 

3WW given words
jitters lavish
icky (repulsive or distasteful, excessively sweet)

Poets United
acceptance
A chair wobbles on uneven grass
It gives jitters trying to avoid a spill
Even a sheep grazing might find reason to be careful
Desire is to be lavish with time in her hands
Happy in a way far from the icky youngsters

The chilly waters of the sea nearby  provides a balance
To dispel worry the outright enemies of idle minds
It is safe to perceive quiet as a right of the golden years
Just watch the diet and exercise to tone the tired muscles
Isn't a hammock an ideal customer?

Acceptance of privileges accruing to a special breed
Who had contributed to society in various ways before
It is now pay-back time!

    Yes, I LOVE how retirement slows the pace from the rat-race of working life. So lovely. And hammocks are great. I especially love those huge swinging ones that are flat and have a mattress on them....in my dreams!

    I feel peace in the poem. love these lines the most:
    The chilly waters of the sea nearby provides a balance
    To dispel worry the outright enemies of idle minds

    I'm always impressed by the ability to handle a couple prompts at the same time. Seamlessly in this case, I might add. Well done.
