Just sitting around
hoping that tomorrow comes.
I've got nothing to do,
just twiddling my thumbs.
My life is so boring.
I need some excitement.
But that's hard to do,
with a family in tow.
It just doesn't seem right,
to be doing things alone.
Something needs to be done,
or I think I'll go crazy.
I'm just sitting around,
getting even more lazy.
The first thing I need to do,
is to kill this damn fly.
It has been buzzing around,
landing on me; making me mad.
After the fly, what's next?
Maybe write a poem or story.
I need to think long term,
to get out of this rut.
I need to do something,
to get off of my butt.
Looks like dieting alone,
is not going to be enough.
I need to sit less in this chair,
and get my fat body moving.
But who am I kidding?
I'll probably die in this chair.
I guess that fly
is smarter than me.
Once I got out the spray can
it's no-where to be seen.
It's the most excitement
that I've had all day.
I still have nothing to do,
except twiddle my thumbs.
Still sitting around
waiting for tomorrow to come.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
