Getting Bored
I get bored so easily.
When playing a tune
Nine hundred times,
I’ve just got to change it.
Improvising, that’s the name.
Who can do the same life in, life out?
We need to change – a good thing.
We are variety machines.
Change can be nuance –
Nothing big; subtle, slow in coming.
But, if you’ve got the talent and the ear
You hear: inventing, extemporizing,
Winging-it, ad-libbing ad libitum.
Creatively and on the spot
You feel you’ve got
To make up something new
To satisfy you, and
Oh, it quenches:
The worn replaced, its freshness
Making you a happy fledgling; re-born.
Lose the fear!
It’s here you want to chase it.
Clinch the moment.
Let boredom take you to the next
Bewitching instance.
