Singing to myself

When I am bored out of my mind

When household chores onerous I find

I sing a song that fond memories evokes

Sometimes I add in a few dance strokes

I do not hum, I sing quite loudly, I confess

I invigorate myself thoroughly in the process..

I do not really possess a singing voice

I may screech trying to vocalize the song of my choice

There is nothing musical about my breaking into song

The lyrics are in my head, and I sing along

My family mostly puts up with me

But for anyone else, annoying it would be

To hear me sing with abandon such

This is not a habit I talk about much..

*

Listening to the same song is not as effective

In elevating my mood, the same pleasure it does not give

Therefore whenever I feel bored, I shall continue

To sing to myself, and encourage you to try it too
