Woe is Me

This poem is based on a true story...

What to do

Woe is me,

I got no tv,

My husband cancelled the cable,

I tried and tried but could not connect,

My internet is also disabled,

Oh my, oh my,

I almost could cry,

What will I do now without it?

I could read, I could sew, but I just don’t know,

It seems that I can’t live without it!

It is only 7 o’clock and not even dark,

“What were you thinking?” is my only remark!

There’s no one at home not even our dog,

I could visit a neighbor or write my own blog,

I could take a long bubble bath and soak in the tub,

I could clean up the house and the floors I could scrub,

I could do crafts in my pjs and great things I could make,

I could bake cookies, or brownies, or even a cake,

I could listen to music in quiet solitude,

I could raid the pantry and eat all of the food,

I could lie on the couch, aww, I could lie in the recliner,

I could sit there for hours and nothing is finer,

No Pinterest, no Google, no emails, no tweet,

Oh, but the sound of silence is sweet.

So I guess you might say I’ve got nothing to do,

But that’s okay with me, how about you?
