Things To Do In Times Like These
Enforced by climes,
Potentially creative times
For those indoors; creative hours
Using things of daily use
To make you happier than usual:
Training, both to get and keep
Your strength and flexibility;
Practicing a hobby’s pleasure;
Art of leisure;
Cooking from ideas not tried, new acquired –
Meant to eat and cure at once;
Lance the boil spoiling all the current toil;
‘Things’ each physical and mental,
Incidental and essential.
They but ‘things’ – activities.
Not only there to ‘live’, but please.
No matter what, life’s there to please,
The ease not always easy.
To give to you some things to do
While undergoing a non-boring
Squeezing out of this disease
By seizing on a life of things
To do small things in times like these.
