Poems - Just A Bit Of Doggerel
| | Just A Bit Of Doggerelby Pujakins
I've a bounty of time
So how do I decide
What to wish for, to take, or refuse.
My wonder is this
Just what will I miss
Whatever I choose to choose.
I sit in my chair
Turning first here, then there,
As flummoxed as I can be
For my timely conundrum
Is far worse than humdrum
Until I have riddled the fee.
As the moments tick by
With incredible speed
I dither and thither away
So that when sets the sun
that has been all my fun
With naught else resulting that day.

Interesting piece. I learned three words from this poem. Thanks, Tasha! What did you mean by "thither" though? My dictionary says it means:
To or toward that place: "trickery that attracted him thither".
Maybe there is another meaning somewhere. I can sense your whimsical heartbeat in this poem. You have a heart that never stops beating for human people, and it shows even in the faintest idea of being "unable to choose."

Hi Sweet Sammi, I was having fun with dither and thither, and what you might infer is that I dither and start out thither, (to there) then dither again and thither I go somewhere else, only to dither again, etc. It's a silly piece, meant to amuse. I do love playing with words, as do you! Hugs and Blessings, Tasha

Most of my stuff is doggerel. I think it's OK to have days that are "unproductive". Just as important to be as to do. Best to you, Tasha, from Bob

It was nothing for me when I was young
to work twelve hours a day
now I doodle and dawdle
and waist my life away
have a grand tomorrow…Jack
