At Myself, I Do Stare
While I Rock This Boredom Away!
By Carol Ann TownendPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read
I've watched it rain and stop,
A million times today,
I've chewed my fingers that much,
I turned them into horse hair!
I've knitted the stitches,
Dropped a few,
Now there are more holes
In my britches!
I've sung many songs,
And now;
I never sing them wrong,
I've tapped my feet to the
back and fro rhythm,
There is no sense to my words,
And here I am, still
Sitting in this old rocking chair,
With not a care in this old world
And in the mirror,
At myself, I do stare,
Appreciating my flair
While I rock this boredom away!

Rock and roll, love your fun poem!!!❤️❤️💕
That feels like Winter in the UK to me. You really captured the essence but I like how you made it fun. Didn't know that was possible 🤣
This is delightfully whimsical! A charming little ode to boredom—full of quirks, rhythm, and self-amusement. Rock on!
Haha. Love it. Keep on rocking!
Love this great work…
