Three years ago Messymimi had the right diagnosis for one of the things bothering me now and then: The Ookie-pookies.
This is a general feeling that the universe is conspiring to make you
as miserable as possible, with things you can't help, nor really
complain about without sounding ungrateful and whiny.
Something like this: Everything
is just plain old stupid. News, friends, family, social media, the
nature around me, and even myself - everything is drab, boring, stupid.
Nobody
ever listens, Nobody ever understands anything. Everybody but me is
going places and having fun. The one day I want to go to an outdoor
event, is the one day it rains in a long row of sunshiny days. When I go
to bed I have to go for a pee. When I go
shopping the items on my list are sold out ... You know the feeling,
Today the Okie-Pokies have gotten me again. The weather is so nice, but now that I know rain will come stupid me then cannot enjoy the sunshine any more.
It sometimes happen, when the calendar is full. I need "breahing days" now and then. Days where everybody is at home, where weøre not all getting up too early, flying in each one directin and maybe not coming home for dinner. It's not even bad things, like dentists' appintments. It's birthdays. plant dyeing and fun things. But whne there's no days with nothing on them for too long, I get the Ookie-Pookies.
But ... it's Poetry Monday ... Let's try to poem the Ookie-pookies away:
It stems from nothing,
It goes nowhere
It is un-budging
It'll stay right here,
It'll be raining on me
and on my parade.
Till I get old and bleary-eyed.

I think we all get the ookie pookies from time to time. I hope yours leave you soon.
SvarSletThank you, I do hope so too. Spring is the worst time for this, I think.
SletI think STEM would be hard, so you did well with your poem.
SvarSletIt was. I thunk of flowers all day, but the only rhyme I found, was 'gem' and it turned trivial no matter how hard I tried. Thank you.
SletI'm sorry you have the Ookie-Pookies, it's way no fun, but at least you got a good poem out of it.
SvarSletHehe, thanks, and it actualy helped a but - seems like being creative, and gardening can drive off Ookie-Pookeies. I've have to try it.
