On a Rainy Day

On a rainy day with nothing planned And hours to fill at your command, It’s hard for some to understand, But it’s a trifle boring. You do some crosswords, read a book, Open closets, take a look, Realize in the time it took, That mess you’ll be ignoring. It’s early, still, to watch TV; You have a snack or two or three And text a friend, but even she Is busy with her choring. And so, at last, since you are home, Too lazy to head out to roam, You find the topic for your poem, The things to do indooring.

Indooring really should be a word, Ilene. The polar opposite of orienteering perhaps. So you’ve done ‘Shopping list’ and now you’ve taken ‘nothing to do’ and written a poem about it. Marvellous!

Ah, you can find inspiration in so many places. This is such a cute poem Ilene. I don't need it to be raining to have a snack, or two, or three.
