Favorite Quote:
"When in a state of boredom, stay bored."


What does one do when bored?
Does he or she read?
Maybe Shakespeare in the park
Or does it turn into a scene from the Avengers
Does he or she start a riot?
But what would be their cause
Perhaps one would do their homework
Or not do homework at all
What if he or she writes a poem?
Only to forget the object of the poem itself
Or even worse, leave a song unfinished
In the middle of a verse
Or maybe make a flip book
Craft a vase
Sew a purse
So what does one do when bored?
Shall he or she fill their heads with endless possibilities?
No, when in a state of boredom
Stay bored

I thought this was a pretty funny poem,however if you've never seen the Avengers then you probably won't grasp the concept of the Shakespeare line. Hope I see more work from this author.
