The Procrastinator

The Procrastinator 

Have a tendency to procrastinate
My motto: “Not now, it can wait.”

"Let's negotiate a better price."
"You mean it was sold, that wasn't nice."

"How come we got a parking fine?"
"Thought we had plenty of time."

"Knew I was to clean up this mess."
"But was busy, I must confess."

"Yes, knew we were to meet at five."
Didn't know was such a long drive." 
  
"I knew the taxes were almost due."
"Sorry we got a penalty, I really do."

"Knew should have filled the tank."
"Spent too much time at drive-in bank."

"Did't know it's sold out." 
"How did that all come about?"

If I don't change my way
A pretty penny will have to pay

Instead will follow what Farragut said:
"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."
