Bored Time
Maybe I'm not poetry in motion
I write poetry to fill mind gaps when in stagnation
I hate my mind being in this almost empty void
It makes me feel quite annoyed
I could fill time gaps with household chores
That will earn me some wifely scores
I like my brain working to tire it out
I'll sleep better at night when I've messed about
I have a mate who naps to fill these gaps
I can't appreciate these memory lapses
It's a waste of valuable day-time hours
And not sure if it renews my energy powers.
I know I'll sleep better at night after meeting peers
and socialising earlier over some beers.
About this poem
