James Brindley builds a canal
Simply because he is bored.
James Brindley builds a canal
With spare time he can afford
He digs the Bridgewater Cut.
Simply because he is bored,
Because the shops are shut,
To stop him kicking his heels,
He digs the Bridgewater Cut.
I know how Brindley feels
Ennui often fills my day
To stop him kicking his heels
He lines the canal with clay
He knocks up some handsome locks.
Ennui often fills my day.
Though I only stare at rocks,
James Brindley builds a canal,
He knocks up some handsome locks.
Oh, my life is so banal.

The most enticing piece I've read tonight. Now, I know that Ennui is the boring sister of that celtic songbird, and anyone who can rhyme canal and banal gets my vote.
Its true that overachievers do more when they are bored, than what us mere mortals can do at our best. Sigh.
