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.

Never do I miss a chance to wipe the counters, very calming.
Keep calm and putter on, I say!

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? 😉

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.

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
