Cabin Fever

Can't go out Weather won't permit Too cold, too wet, too slippy Dressed up warm I clean and cook And wash and iron and polish Listen to the radio Despair at the news Hum to the music Escape from the world Enter boredom Slowly at first Then snaking into the psyche Banging with frustration Screaming at the world I wan't to explode

Hi Liz. Thanks for the visit. . I am this. Work is scarce so have to find things to fill the day. Thank God for the writing. Decided to organise all my poetry and was amazed to find that I had written 35,000 words, (mostly crap). Yes cabin fever is a self propagating condition. Can be cured with a bottle or two of wine. Great idea and write. happy New Year to you all also. Eamon

I guess we're both having bad weather today, Liz, and it's not much fun staying inside. Maybe it is time to catch up on some housework. Take care, Diane

You had me laughing, Liz, because my house is never cleaner than it is when the weather's bad. Can REALLY relate to the frustration of "Cabin Fever"! Love it! Carolyn
