What To Do This Weekend

Again, you ask, “What can we do?”
“Let’s go somewhere by car.”
Spend great money for entertainment.
It’s a struggle to please you.
     I’d rather be alone sometimes.

I like great books.
Religion.
Cooking.
Intelligent ideas.
     However, nothing-to-do creeps in.

How many friends can I serve?
“What activities do you-all like?”
Do weekends bore you too?
It seems we all need better “things-to-do.”
     The world is not so entertaining.

I take solitude.
I had to take a nap.
TV has been a bore.
I am refusing to just fill time.
     I ask for a little more.
