Wherever I Get Bored
Whenever I get bored,
I say “Oh Lord,
(because it rhymes with bored)
Do something nice today;
Turn all my chores to play
So that the hours spent
Consent to happiness;”
The scent of flowers, sight of cloud…”
These are the things I say out loud.
A few things more I store in silence;
And as if His Eminence is listening,
I start whistling, pleasure cancelling
The burden of the boredom.
