I Am

I am not an artist but I paint,
I am not a singer but I sing,
I am not a writer but I write,
I guess I'm not a lot of things.
What am I to do?
Stop, oh no, I think not
Perhaps I'll try something new
Sail a boat but not be a sailor
Fish but not be a fisherman
Climb a mountain but not be a mountaineer
Ride a bike but not be a biker
Make pottery but not be a potter
Cook but not be a chef
Build something but not be a builder
What's the reason one might say?
Because there are so few hours in a day
So few days in a year
And
So few years in a lifetime

Now, where was I?
