My son doesn’t pay much attention to sites like this, he’s 16. But he wrote a rather interesting poem.
My son Ronnie hates all sports or any outdoor activity for that matter. However, when the sun shines, people always tell him he MUST go out, and enjoy the sun. On one such sunny occasion, while busy on his computer, he was ushered out of the house to “enjoy himself”. While out “enjoying himself”, he penned these thoughts.
This is one of the few he has actually shared with me. He sends his best wishes and hopes you all “get something out of it, if anything”.
“The sun has always played a vital part
in frolics for the children we have bred.
But why must it upset the applecart
when I decide to stay indoors instead?
I’d rather watch a nice long DVD,
or slouch around and play computer games.
I’ll let the sunshine be what it will be,
the sun will live, it need not know my name.
It burns my skin and makes me foul and sick,
it makes me tired and want to fall asleep.
To sunbathe in a thong would bore me stiff,
The thought of craving tans would make me weep.
From my TV I get a gripping plot,
But from the sun? My head will burn and ache.
Are balls of flame a drama? I think not!
It’s always looked the same for heaven’s sake!
Why can’t one be a quiet introvert,
who keeps his head down much to no dismay?
Why should one be a noisy extrovert
who preens and struts and swans throughout the day?
I’ve sev’ral friends, some on the internet,
and some I chat to socially in school,
but socialising outdoors makes me fret,
not least because a lot of them are fools.
One sees outside when sitting in one’s house,
why does one need to feel it on one too?
What’s wrong with sitting quiet as a mouse,
Whilst doing things they’d much prefer to do?
Don’t get me wrong, the sun does have its charm,
I know the sun can fill one’s soul with glee.
But leave us ‘nerds’ alone, we cause no harm,
Now bugger off, I want to watch TV.
- Ronnie .C Rowlands”

He’s glad someone’s seen it already, and also that you enjoyed it, Nigel. Cheers.
