A Poverty of Activities

No meaningful activities.
Not now, not for years.
Many people I see totally bored.
Filling time, wasting time.

   I read good books.
   I like my friends and doing anything together.
   I will do some things boring.
   But I see a paucity of good activities.

So I’m patient.
I will find activity.
We all must.
Entertainers, TV, please help (more).

People will flock to the better entertainment.
Please not for lots of money.
I will thank God for improved activities, 
And so will my retired parents.

In memory of my uncle Donald
Who had boredom.
