Rest PAD 30-3

 

Boredom

 

Sometimes work is more relaxing

than having nothing to do.

Boredom is a weighty load,

that can depress and injure you.

Rest PAD 30-2

 

Inspiring Rest

 

It’s a lovely feeling

embraced by a comfy chair,

giving weary bones a rest,

after a hard day’s work.

 

Forgetting those clamoring voices

that echoed my mother, long ago,

who tried to wake me up

by saying, “Get up and work!”

 

She never realized

her words only inspired me

to bore more deeply

into my covers.

Rest PAD 30-1

 

To-dos

Go marching by

In my dreams

As I fall asleep

In my recliner

Frustration PAD 29-3

 Gadgets

 

My gadgets are distracting me.

By messages and Facebook posts.

I check the weather, but there’s Lee.

My gadgets are distracting me.

I scroll an hour, two or three.

“Time’s a wasting” nobody boasts.

My gadgets are distracting me.

By messages and Facebook posts.

Frustration PAD 29-2

 Up, up, up

Down, down, up, down, up

Down, down, up

Up, down, up

Up, up, down, up, down, up, up

Trying to lose weight

frustration PAD 29-1

 I feel creaky in my bones.

Hubby listens to my moans.

He is creaky too.

There’s naught he can do.

So we harmonize with groans.
