There Is No Better Time Than Now
The lazy man's day is tomorrow
He'll do everything tomorrow,
Things great and small,easy and difficult,
All will be done tomorrow,
But tomorrow never comes.
Once there was a hill besides his house
Which he had to remove bit by bit,
But he said he would start tomorrow,
And his tomorrow never came,
So he never started it.
One day,he said to himself,
''Oh,I'm being so slothful,
Why should I wait till tomorrow?
There's no better time than now.''
And,so,the lazy man started
And bit by bit removed the hill,
Making his motion,
There is no better time than now.
