Here’s my first attempt. It was meant to be about confirmation bias. On rereading it, it seems more like it’s about finding the positives in bleak situations. I guess that’s important, too.
Nothing much happened this week,
you tell your mum at week’s end.
Because ‘nothing’ never gets mentioned,
when talking to your friend.
Because inside all that nothing,
there are things both here and there.
If a room is mostly empty,
You’ll find a table or a chair.
On Monday you did nothing,
except you stubbed your toe.
On Tuesday you did nothing,
but it begain to snow.
On Wednesday you did nothing,
except you found that money.
On Thursday you did nothing,
except you spilled that hunny.
On Friday you did nothing,
except you cleaned that fluff.
But now remembering your empty week,
do you think of all that stuff?
So telling your friend about that room,
Or your mum about your week.
Now that room is full of stuff.
Your week is not so bleak.
