Put it over here, no
Under the bed and then
Toss the pillows and shake the
Towels, wipe the counters
Even the wall where a fingerprint
Right near the doorknob needs a scrub
I see a smudge on the window and
Nodding my head wipe it down while
Grinning at my ability to get nothing else done.
My poetic response to Peter Drucker’s quote that: “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.”
I’m off to DO NOTHING at a place that consists of sand and sun and walking and biking and doing, hopefully, absolutely nothing at all. I’ll be back in two weeks.
Happy Puttering to You.
Enjoy your chance to do nothing at all. Sounds wonderful.
👍
Enjoy!! Sounds PERFECT! Cute photo.
Peta
Oh sounds great!! Have a wonderful time!!
Oh my! That sounds wonderful! I’ve not had a chance to do that in so long. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
Have a great time, Pam! I love the photo! ❤
Have fun – puttering is an important part of our lives!
Enjoy your puttering, Pam.
Enjoy the beach😊
Love your response! Enjoy your vacation! See you I. Two weeks!
Love your acronym. It’s perfect. Enjoy your vacation.
Have fun! Doing nothing is important. 😊
Have a great time!
In the end, all goes down to sand. Thanks for the visit.
I love to putter! Great post–I hope your vacation is wonderful. ❤
Enjoying everything of doing nothing!
Have fun and enjoy doing nothing!
Good quote and good response!
Have a wonderful time relaxing and taking in the view.
Enjoy every minute!
Putter to your “heart’s content!” 🙂
Great quote and I love the inspired result. Have a wonderful time doing nothing!
Well done, and fun to read. Have a nice break!
Loved your interpretation of ‘doing efficiently’…wishing you all the fun Pam! Enjoy your break! 🙂
Hahaha, great response! Growing up, my parents were always puttering. It was such a common word in our household! Have a wonderful time, wherever it is!!!
Excellent, Pamela. Enjoy the two weeks.
Happy puttering!
I always click the LIKE button even before I read your posts because you never disappoint.
Never do I miss a chance to wipe the counters, very calming.
Keep calm and putter on, I say!
Love it! 🙂
Such a cute photo of your granddaughter. Hope you have a tremendous vacation where all you need do is relax and maybe do what your granddaughter is doing in the photo.
Puttering is almost as good as doing nothing, but this also sounds like a great ode to procrastination too!
This puttering sounds exactly like my morning. I was feeling pretty good about it until I read Drucker’s quote
What did he know anyway? 😉
Happy, happy vacation and enjoy your time perfecting the art of nothing ❤
Enjoy your time “doing nothing!”
Wonderful! Hoping this sweet pea is enjoying doing nothing with you very much.
Pam, I love Peter Drucker’s quote. Your response is perfect!
Enjoy your “do nothing” time!
Puttering is a great way to use time usefully, Pam. Happy puttering! Send us a card!!
You just perfectly described my behavior about ten minutes before I’m supposed to go to bed. (I never get to bed when I want to.)
Oh, this is a great response – probably because I know someone who might sometimes have some similar ways of going about things. Or not going about them – that’s probably more accurate.
How fortunate to make time to putter. Writer’s block? Lol 🙂 x
I think this is my new favorite acrostic!
Haha I totally get that ~ During the commercial break on TV I’ll get up and see something that “must” be done… Happy puttering, Pam 🙂
What a precious photograph. A sweet girl in motion at the beach. How lovely. Makes me want to go right there, in this scene.
Pam, wishing you lots of fun doing nothing!! It’s amazing how quick time flies whilst engaged in this activity – sand, sun, walking and biking sounds just perfect! Hugs xx😀❤️
Great celebration of summer fun in this photo, Pam. I hope your trip was wonderful.
Love your poem, Pam. It’s fresh and engaging and makes me smile.
😍
Sounds perfect…I’m jealous!
Enjoyed this post of yours🙂
Being able to putter is good. When you are retired like me, you can putter whenever the mood strikes.
Great post, beautiful photos and well penned. ☺☺☺
This is very good indeed…. you have talent with those acrostic poems! I’m pretty useless at those! 😀 I think I have days like that, where not much gets done at all… one thing takes over!!
For some reason, my writing brain responds to the challenge of making a story using up the letters to a word. I can’t do puzzles, but I love acrostics – go figure! In fact, I’m ‘puttering’ away at an acrostic right now. ;-0
That is very true 🙂
We need to make an extra effort on things we should not do 🙂
Funny how hard it is to not do anything! 🙂
