Procrastination

Been meaning to call you
 it's been a little while
seems time sneaks away
 and things began to pile

Should clean the dishes
 doing laundry has yet to begun
Keep wanting to post that letter
 tomorrow everything can get done

I know I am a little late
 taking down the Christmas lights
but even on a July evening
 they are such a pretty sight

Need to vacuum the carpets
 need to change the porch light
why is it so easy to let things go
 and wander why nothing seems right

Should post a poem or two
 need to finish that book from last year
It is so easy for excuses not to do
 than to get up from that lazy boy chair.
