The Back Burner
If there’s one thing I excel at,
(I am really quite a pro)
It is using the back burner,
Which, in case you didn’t know
Means procrastination, baby!
Putting things off for so long
I forget I meant to do them,
Which I guess is kind of wrong.
Still, I do deserve some credit -
The ideas are all my own:
Swapping couches for replacements
Or an upgrade for my phone,
Sprucing shelves up in the kitchen,
Ditching clothes that I don’t wear,
Having floors both stained and sanded,
Planning trips to who-knows-where.
Once I pounce upon a project,
I do research so I know
All the people I must contact
So I’ll be all set to go.
You’d think gathering the info
Would present the hardest part,
But for pros like me, that’s nothing -
What we cannot do is START!
