Listless On a Rainy Day
Listless on a rainy day,
I had meant to work in the yard;
The best laid plans, well okay;
Now what to do I'm thinking hard.
Well, write a poem, I mean why not!
Like every other bloody day;
So listless here I give it a shot
But really I have little to say.
So watch the rain as I will
Where outside my window is a pail
And sitting here to see it fill,
It feels to me a bit like jail.
Until I see it's now half full,
That pail of mine where I dwell;
Yet, in this rain on a day so dull,
I think half empty I must tell.
