Where are you all? Most are away;
My inspiration stores are grey;
Raging fires, war-torn graft …
Am I alone to think news daft?
Good news barely makes the cut
While of disasters – there’s a glut!
I turn to long-forgotten chores
But barely see the dust on floors!
Believe me, this July we roast
The only “cool” place is the coast!
With traffic madness, airport stress
I realise that home is best…
So, Iet’s take time to do things right;
Organising may seem trite
But oh, what joy when all is done
And I can read my book – in sun!
(c) Poet in the woods 2026
The title comes from the famous 1715 poem "Against Idleness and Mischief" by English minister Isaac Watts, commonly known as "How Doth the Little Busy Bee".
