Joe Flach Poet Rhyme

Procrastination

There are so many things I must get done
But instead I procrastinate.
I further delay to write this poem;
Life’s priorities will just have to wait.

I don’t get paid to write my rhymes;
On the job I get paid for I can’t concentrate.
I’ve got plenty of tasks to take up my time,
But instead I procrastinate.

I’ve got a long list of domestic chores,
But instead I procrastinate;
My wife continues to add some more
To the Honey-Do list I really hate.

The more things that I have to do,
The more likely nothing gets done to date.
There may even be things I should do for you,
But instead I procrastinate.

Chuck Keys January 5, 2011 at 10:01 AM i luv procrastination. it keeps me sane in an insane world where there is always something that is more important and needs to be done immediately. my wife used to keep a honey-do list. one day it disappeared, never found it. i wonder what happened to it ... great write, chuck

Robert Pettit January 5, 2011 at 9:17 AM You summed it all up nicely in this work that has great descriptiveness and rhyming. I thought I should post these comments now instead of waiting to do it later.
