Notes About The Poem

When Tomorrow Never Comes

It’s said tomorrow never comes Believe me it’s so true I’ve got a massive list Of jobs I’ve got to do... Tomorrow! I should not put off jobs Until a rainy day Unfortunately my tardiness will just add to the delay I promise I will get them done ... Tomorrow! 6/2/19

Indeed, there is never enough time in a day... and that precious time needs to be devoted to what is most important now or maybe not :) ... This is an expressive write that is so easy to relate to. Good work Jan!

G'day Jan … got caught out by this sign - free beer tomorrow. Went back the next day and the sign was still there. Your poem rings true - Lindsay

I think that when we have too much to do it gets on top of us Jan, and we do procrastinate , but it only just builds up - guilty as charged. Hugs, Jenny.

Hi Jan: Promptness evokes mortality and Procrastination evokes individuality Great poem, Jan! (I made that up)

Its easy to believe that we always got tomorrow, but sometimes we never get the chance, Better live out our lives with preciousness and momentary intent. Nice one Jan. xo

Procrastination must be a universal behavior. Your delightful poem gave me a chuckle. Hugs, Carolyn

It's a good excuse to say I'll do it tomorrow for those jobs that you don't look forward to . But unfortunately ' tomorrow ' catches up lol. Tom.
