A Cat's Yawn

This cat I drew says a Tibetan proverb:

          མི་ཚེ་ཞི་མིའི་ཨ་སྟོང་ཙམ་ལས་མེད་པར་སྟོང་ཟད་མ་གཏོང་ལ།
          mi tshe zhi mi'i a stong tsam las med par stong zad ma gtong la

          Human life is just (as short as) a cat's yawn; don't waste it.
人の寿命は単に猫のあくびです。浪費止めて。

Though my Japanese translation is just a guess, but I thought maybe it would work as a Haiku:

人寿命  
ただ猫欠伸
浪費止めて

hito jumyou
tada neko akubi
rouhi yamete

Which as a Haiku in English would be:

The human lifespan
Is only but a cat's yawn
Don't waste it away

I like this proverb and occasionally think about it when I find myself doing some totally trivial task that I don't enjoy anyway ... that's it for wasting time today (at least by blogging!).
