At Myself, I Do Stare

While I Rock This Boredom Away!

At Myself, I Do Stare

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!

    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!
