The day seemed boring <br />Dull and dreary <br />I tried reading <br />Kept the book on the side <br />After a while <br />I tried gardening <br />That wasn’t enjoying <br />I kept cursing <br />That didn’t help <br />Passing time <br />Became challenging <br />Irritability increasing <br />Decided to visit the river nearby <br />Sat on a bench <br />To view the flowing water <br />Sitting on the bench next to mine <br />Sat an elderly couple <br />Throwing pebbles in the water <br /> Laughing and giggling <br />Comparing who threw farthest <br />After some time <br />They got up from there <br />I could see they could hardly walk <br />Very slowly they inched forward <br />I ran to help them <br />Sit in the car parked nearby <br />They thanked me for my help <br />Asked, why I was there? <br />At the time <br />When I was supposed to work <br />I replied, <br /> I was getting bored <br />To pass the time <br />I came to the riverside <br />Before departing the old man said <br />Young man goes and enjoy <br />Every minute of your life <br />Never feel bored <br />Always be on the move <br />Like the flowing water <br />Boredom is in the mind <br />Throw it in the gutter<br /><br />Dr.Rajendra Tela,Nirantar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/boredom-is-in-the-mind-throw-it-in-the-gutter/
