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.

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
