Rose Richardone has decided to retire. From her first day on the job, Rose witnessed lots of retail history being made. Despite how much she loves it at Macy’s flagship store, Rose says a broken hip is prompting her to step down…at the age of 92 after a record-breaking 73 years on the job.
The Missing Rose
Rose saw many
A change of pace
Since she went work
At Macy’s place.
Though hours were long,
She enjoyed herself
As she got to know
Almost every shelf.
A broken hip,
The final blow,
Made it quite clear
That she must go
So, at ninety-two,
Rose just retired
Seventy-three years
After she was hired.
