Do You Know Anyone Who Does Floors?

The art of boredom is powerful, as it invites deep introspection and provokes bright thinking — striking spatters of truth. - Thoreau

it's raining

it's pouring

the old man is snoring

the curious and careless alike are exploring

businesses are off-shoring and re-shoring

down in baltimore, cargo ships aren't properly mooring

neighbors, communists, extremists, radicals and factions are warring

squirrels storing

dwindling lions roaring

victims, lawyers, mothers at wits end and judges with worn gavels imploring

hungry hookers whoring

nuclear reactors and apple orchards coring

lonely housewives and men with rings and gold chains at bars scoring

politicians and shoppers are deploring

democrat al is 'goreing'

the stock market is soaring and rip-roaring

kids with allowances choring

toddlers 'what-foring'

new mothers and grandmothers adoring

broken souls, fathers and prodigal sons restoring

meaningless words and humidifiers 'vapouring'.

sports teams and horny youths scoring

haters abhorring

polluted rivers and kind hearts outpouring

miners 'oreing'

sheets are missing from clotheslines in the south and in the ghost-town of loring

from all the pacing back and forth, i need new flooring

if nothing else, it prevents life from being boring

Author's Note

"It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants." - Thoreau

People are people and relationships are complicated at best sometimes. Politicians will corrupt along with companies so much going on in this write upon paper
