Doing the ‘nothing’


No, not finishing your long pending novel in the plane
But making faces at your own face in the windowpane

No, not going out for a walk near the neighbourhood lake
But watching the sparrows fight it out over a piece of bake

No, not listening to your favourite songs on a long drive
But making your own melodies and belting them out live

No, not trying out the classic vanilla crepe from the stands
But digging out the gooey chocolate spread with your hands

No, not re-doing the to-do list while waiting for your bus
But making another one for the other you hiding from us

Make time for doing the nothing before you lose yourself to the world
‘Coz there’ll never be enough time to do all the nothing in the world …’ 
(Quote by Bill Watterson)
