Better Late Than Never


Better late than never,
But never late is better;
Complete the endeavour,
Be punctual, go-getter;

We try to be clever,
Late, but do to the letter,
Remember however
To be on time, trend-setter.

Congratulations on your joint 2nd place in the contest. This has a great vibe to it. And it's better late than never, is something we all tell ourselves to not stress too much over being late. Very relatable and your poem has great rhythm. Thank you for entering the contest.

Never heard the twist you've given 'Better late than never.' Whoa! I guess that's not a good sign is it?! (I.e., I'm never on time). Oh, well. ~NP (Non-punctual).

Love to get to appointments early or on time, nothing worse than bad timekeepers, there's no excuse. Tom
