Boring

.

At times, words won’t come

probably because my thoughts

are rather boring.

Back to School

 

Tears are shed, Easter

holidays are over and

routines are restored.

Paint

 

Watching paint dry is

almost as tedious as

watching…erm…paint dry.

*apologies for the dreadful haiku. Boringly busy weekend decorating a room before the carpet is fitted – no space for creative thinking.

Bored meeting

 

Did anyone see

my nodding head and closed eyes?

Career limiting.

Christmas Cards

 

Put pen to paper;

compose salutations for

family and friends.

Painting and decorating

 

Painting ceilings is

a mugs game unless your name

is L. da Vinci.

Boring, Boring Chelsea

Chelsea strut their stuff

‘we deserve respect’ they bleat

no! You earn respect

I was prompted to write this following the Arsenal v Chelsea match last Sunday. It was a nil nil draw, which saw Chelsea play a negative defensive game. At the end of the match, the Arsenal fans sang ‘Boring boring Chelsea’, which was an ironic self-reference to the days when Arsenal were boring and used to grind out results without flair or class. That team were labelled ‘Boring Boring Arsenal’

Chelsea are a bit precious, and have been complaining to the media that they should be respected. So, despite leading the Premier League by a country mile, they have not endeared themselves with the British public, and this side unfortunately, are unlikely to remembered as anything other than efficient. They need to earn respect not expect it.
