Watchers and Doers

The watchers sit around watching the doers do! Who does that apply to, could it be you? Are you a watcher or a doer, which one applies? Be honest with yourself, without the lies. Doers do what the watchers cannot But without watchers the doers might not. Is it that the doers need watchers, might that be the fact? That the watchers and doers need to interact? Maybe the watchers get the bad press, Maybe the doers are there to impress, But surely the doers are the ones that do And the watchers don’t, that has to be true. I’m not sure I’m a doer, maybe I am Hopefully I’m not a watcher but if I am, damn! A doer is surely where it’s at, don’t you think? But if I’m a watcher, my armour has a chink! Be a doer and not a watcher because without a doubt Being a doer gives you far greater clout But if your a watcher, you must contemplate Becoming a doer before it’s too late!! N. B. This poem was inspired by a line delivered by Jane Fonda, in the film ‘barefoot in the park’, when she referred to her husband, played by Robert Redford , as a watcher - ‘there are watchers in this world and there are doers and the watchers sit around watching the doers do!’
