Being Ready

I need some new glasses, An iPhone as well, But Procrastinationville’s Where I do dwell. I’ve stopped at opticians Plus AT&T, Departing without A commitment from me. Since neither is urgent, I let months pass by, Convincing myself That a purchase was nigh. A bicycle, too, Is up high on my list. I Google the site But each time I resist. Except that today, I felt ready at last. I ordered new glasses; My spouse was aghast. I checked out the phone store; My model is out But the next time it’s in, I will get it, no doubt. And as for the bike I am right on the verge For today both desire And timing did merge. No matter how much I Stay focused and steady, I can’t complete anything ‘Til I am ready.
