Procrastination

PROCRASTINATION

Sunday
Abed
Cozy
Warm
February 13th
FEBRUARY 13TH!!!!
My God
Tomorrow is Valentine’s day
Should get her a card
A heart-shaped box of candy
I should write something
Mind a blank
House needs cleaning
Dishes to wash
Oh yes
That too
Snowed last night
Walks need shoveling
Car battery bad
Might not start
Should go to grocery
Dog hungry
Cupboard bare
Oh well
To hell with Mother Hubbard
I’ll sleep thru till Monday 
.................................................................

Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends on the soup. Love, daver

Michelle Mac Donald May 19, 2011 at 5:25 AM Sounds like the sound thing to do Daver! Get the hungry dog to wash the dishes, that would have been one less worry? Then you can stack em back into that bare cupboard? Anyhow, you've created an excellent timeline for one in the midst of "Procrastination". Makin' me feel guilty.:( Have a great day! Love, Mikki

Diane Locksley February 17, 2011 at 3:51 PM You are such a funny guy Daver! Thanks for making me laugh until it hurt. Best to you, Diane

Andrea Dietrich February 17, 2011 at 1:14 PM oh, boy, just doing all those chores for me would have plenty good enough valentine for ME. hahaha. You are always such a card, Daver!

February 15, 2011 at 4:33 PM Got a chuckle out of this. You sure brighted my day. Keep on writing and sharing your words. Thank you for your kind comment. Karen

Carolyn Devonshire February 15, 2011 at 1:53 PM LOL No, Daver, you'd be more likely to hear mucho at the Mexican border. It's so flat where I live, there is nothing but the sun to use for navigation. On cloudy days I don't leave the house. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire February 15, 2011 at 12:28 PM It was a lazy Valentine's Day for many of us, Daver. Hope your wife didn't get on your case about procrastinating to get her Valentine's gift. She's lucky to have such a loving and talented husband. Hey, it's the thought that counts, right? Great work, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Constance La France February 14, 2011 at 12:01 PM Sounds like the thoughts that go on in my head, I have whole conversations and then pull the covers back up, wonderfully captured this procrastination thing and yes raindrops murmur, did you ever stand still in the forest after the rain~~

Robert Pettit February 14, 2011 at 9:54 AM I thought I would put in a comment now instead of waiting to do it later. This is a delightful read for Valentine's Day.

Kabuteng P.Ink K. February 14, 2011 at 8:25 AM Your title drew me in, Dave since I have raised procrastination to an art form :) this is such a fun read for Valentines-- made em smile a lot -- and I myself can relate since I was postponing stuff to the last minute yesterday (it's Feb 15 here already)--thanks for sharing and ok I have to go-- been putting off some other stuff-- happy Valentine's hugs to you ^_^
