Thinking
Thinking is for those of us
Who have some extra time,
Especially when all those thoughts
Are written out in rhyme.
For when days are super busy
And our brains are hard at work,
It’s impossible to wallow where
Ideas or stressors lurk.
Yet when hours stretch out empty,
It’s too easy to obsess,
So what should lead to relaxing
Often veers right into stress.
Thinking’s highly overrated
For, as many people find,
Thoughts may, like invasive species,
Overpopulate your mind.
