A BOY OF HOBBIES

Danish

Post content

I like the lake,
And I like to bake;
Always I go fishing and fishing rods I take,
And I always make a cake.

I can flip a can,
My skin is getting tan;
I like that man,
because I am his fan.

Every time I see a leech,
It just make me itch,
I just like Bond
because by him I am fond.

Mother to the father always complained,
A lot I played;
Then I explained,
that he is being flayed.

    your hobbies don't have to justify themselves to anyone. your parents will find something to complain about regardless, so might as well enjoy what you enjoy

    the can flip + tan combo is unexpectedly hilarious. like who pairs those two things together and somehow makes it work

    I kind of see why your parents were frustrated? But also like, maybe having hobbies is actually the whole point. Idk, the poem makes a case for it.

    I keep coming back to the line about your parents complaining. The way you defend yourself after that feels so honest.

    Do the repeated stanzas mean something about returning to the same hobbies? I'm curious what drew you to that structure.

    I realize, interacting with students, teenagers and younger co-workers peers that many believe that their personality traits are a leading factor in deciding what do to or how to tackle their own career. Although younger people ask these questions more explicitly, older adults also seem to think along the same lines. I personally find it to be far more irrelevant than most people think.

Examples include data analysis, programming, graphic design, accounting, dancing, painting… They are usually the core of a profession, particularly the part of it excluding interaction with other people.
