Easily Bored Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Let's play...
'Do As We Please'.

'Again?
I'm tired of playing that.
Let's play something else.'

Like what?

'We haven't played...
'I Could Care Less' in a long time.
Let's play that.'

Okay.
Only if you promise,
Not to make it too stressful.
The last time we played it,
You made up too many rules to follow.

'How are we going to play...
'I Could Care Less' without any rules? '

You're right.
That's true.
At least when we play,
'Do As We Please'...
We do it without keeping score.

'Okay.
Why don't you play...
'I Could Care Less'.
And I'll pretend to do as I please,
To have you 'think' I'm not noticing you.'

It's no fun in that.
Let's come up with something else.

'I've got it.'

What?
What is it?

'Let's play...
'Wasting Time.'

We need at least four players for that.
And besides...
After arguing who has time let to go unwasted,
Always ends in an argument.

'That's true.
And you know how I can get easily bored.'
