Leisure these days
by
Violet Nesdoly

(With apologies to William Henry Davies)

I think I’ll pass on woods and grass
if my connection’s nice and fast.

Ignore lithe Beauty’s dancing feet
as Google serves me sure and fleet.

Watch girl in sidebar smile and scowl
and not that pensive sheep and cow.

See YouTube arrow turn to bars
instead of watching squirrels and stars.

The stream of stars that I prefer
Netflix delivers all the year.

What good is life and what’s it worth
without the time to sit and surf?

- Violet Nesdoly

I feel that with such a definite structure an absolute rhyme is needed and a 'near' rhyme just doesn't work.
